Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea House in Harrogate was looking to replace its collection of mismatched, tired-looking teapots to create a more cohesive and upmarket image for their popular afternoon tea service.
"The new Olympia teapots have made such a difference. They look incredibly smart on the tables and our staff love that the lids are attached and they pour without dripping. We’ve had so many positive comments from regulars."
Samuel Jones – Proprietor

Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the teapot a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.

Keeping It Going
- The pot is fully dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this teapot be used on a stove or hob?
A: No, this is a serving teapot designed to hold pre-brewed hot beverages. It should not be used on any direct heat source.
Q: Is the handle completely heatproof?
A: The handle is heat-resistant for safe and comfortable pouring, but it's always wise to be careful when the pot is filled with boiling water.
Q: How many standard mugs of tea does it hold?
A: Its 700ml (24oz) capacity is ideal for around two to three standard teacups, making it perfect for individual or small table service.
Q: Can the lid be removed for cleaning?
A: The lid is permanently attached via a hinge to prevent it from being lost. The wide opening still allows for very easy cleaning.
