Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A popular Moroccan-themed restaurant in Manchester's Northern Quarter decided to upgrade its mismatched ceramic teapots to create a more cohesive and authentic customer experience. They chose the Olympia M980 for its style and durability.
"Our customers immediately noticed the new teapots. They look so much more professional, and they keep the tea lovely and hot right to the table. The non-drip spout is a huge bonus for our staff too – far fewer spills to clean up during a hectic service."
David Chen – Owner, The Silk Road Tearoom
The change resulted in a tangible uplift, with the restaurant reporting a 15% increase in speciality tea sales within three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the teapot a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Brief your staff on the key features, such as the heat-resistant handle and non-drip spout, to ensure safe and proper use.
- Check that the hinge mechanism moves freely and is securely attached.
Keeping It Going
- This teapot is fully dishwasher safe, making daily cleaning quick and easy.
- To maintain the brilliant mirror finish, polish occasionally with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
- For any stubborn tea stains inside, use a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a soft brush rather than harsh scouring pads.
- Regularly check the hinge and handle to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this teapot suitable for use on a hob or stove?
A: No, this is a serving pot and is not designed for direct heat sources. It should be filled with hot water from a kettle or water boiler.
Q: What is the capacity in standard cups of tea?
A: The 500ml capacity is perfect for serving about two standard 250ml teacups.
Q: Does the handle get hot when filled with boiling water?
A: The handle is specifically designed to be heat-resistant, allowing for safe and comfortable pouring even when the contents are very hot.
Q: Is the lid removable for cleaning?
A: The lid is not removable; it is securely attached with a hinge to prevent it from being lost or dropped during service.
Q: What is the best way to clean tough tea stains from the inside?
A: For daily cleaning, a commercial dishwasher is fine. For stubborn stains, soak with a solution of catering destainer or use a non-abrasive cream cleaner with a soft bottle brush.
Q: Is the stainless steel food-grade?
A: Absolutely. All Olympia tableware is manufactured using high-quality, food-safe stainless steel suitable for professional environments.
Q: Does the mirror finish scratch easily?
A: The finish is durable for commercial use, but to keep it looking its best, we recommend avoiding abrasive scourers or harsh steel wool.
Q: Can the spout become clogged with loose-leaf tea?
A: The spout has a wide, fluted design which is less prone to clogging than narrow spouts. For very fine tea leaves, using an infuser is recommended.
The Olympia Promise: Durability Meets Design

It might seem like a tiny detail, but the hinged lid is a feature you'll be thankful for every single day. In a busy kitchen or fast-paced café, separate lids are a liability – they can be easily dropped, misplaced, or accidentally thrown away, leaving you with a useless pot. Think of the hinge as a built-in insurance policy. It keeps the lid connected at all times, ensuring your pot is always ready for service, helps retain heat more effectively, and prevents mix-ups. It’s a simple, clever bit of design that saves you time, money, and hassle during the busiest shifts.
Who Should Buy This?
- Boutique Cafés: Perfect for serving speciality loose-leaf teas with a touch of elegance that standard pots lack.
- Fine Dining Restaurants: An ideal choice for offering after-dinner mint or herbal teas to enhance the overall dining experience.
- Hotels and B&Bs: A durable and stylish option for upgrading in-room tea and coffee service trays for guests.
- Tearooms & Shisha Lounges: The authentic Arabian design perfectly complements a traditional theme, delighting customers looking for the real deal.
