Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Willow Creek Tearoom in Bakewell decided to refresh their entire tableware set to create a more contemporary and  memorable experience for their visitors. They moved away from traditional white porcelain to the Olympia Café collection in charcoal.

"We've had so many compliments since we switched. Customers love the modern, rustic feel of the new teapots, and  our staff find them much easier to handle and  clean during a hectic lunch service. They just feel... solid."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Willow Creek Tearoom

Since the change, they've reported a significant drop in breakages and  noted that customers are more frequently sharing photos of their afternoon tea setups online.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, wash the teapot, lid, and  strainer thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
  • Check that the metal lid fits securely but is still easy to open and  close.
  • Ensure the strainer sits correctly inside the pot without wobbling.
  • Brief your staff on removing the metal lid and  strainer before microwaving the pot.

Keeping It Going

  • The stoneware body is very durable, but avoid extreme temperature shocks (e.g., from a hot oven to cold water).
  • We recommend hand-washing the stainless steel lid and  strainer to maintain their finish and  function.
  • Regularly check the spout to ensure there are no blockages from tea leaves or limescale.
  • Stack carefully with protectors if needed to avoid chipping the spout or rim.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Teapot

Not sure which teapot is the best fit for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Capacity & Portions

Think about how you serve. Is it tea for one, or for a whole table? This 510ml pot is perfect for two, reducing waste and  ensuring a fresh pot for smaller groups.

Material Matters

Stoneware, like this pot, offers fantastic heat retention and  is tougher than porcelain, making it ideal for a high-turnover commercial environment.

Handling & Ergonomics

Check the handle design. A good handle should be comfortable and  provide a secure grip, especially when the pot is full and  hot.

The Perfect Pour

A well-designed spout is crucial. Look for one that's shaped to prevent annoying drips, which keeps your tables clean and  your customers happy.

Style and  Atmosphere

Your tableware is part of your brand. Choose a style and  colour that complements your décor, whether it's modern, rustic, or traditional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many cups of tea does this 510ml teapot hold?

A: It's perfectly sized to serve two standard teacups, making it ideal for individual customers or tables of two.

Q: Is the whole teapot microwave safe?

A: No, only the stoneware body is microwave safe. You must remove the stainless steel lid and  strainer before heating.

Q: Is this teapot dishwasher safe?

A: The robust stoneware body is generally fine in a commercial dishwasher. However, to preserve the finish and  mechanism of the stainless steel lid, we recommend washing the lid and  strainer by hand.

Q: Can I use this pot without the strainer?

A: Absolutely. If you're using teabags, you can simply remove the strainer for even easier use and  cleaning.

Q: What is the benefit of stoneware over ceramic?

A: Stoneware is fired at a higher temperature, which makes it less porous, more durable, and  better at retaining heat than standard ceramic, making it ideal for commercial use.

Q: Is the charcoal colour a coating or part of the material?

A: It's a durable, coloured glaze that is fired onto the teapot, making it resistant to chipping and  fading with proper care.

Q: Can I buy other matching items?

A: Yes, this Olympia GM596 teapot is part of the wider Olympia Café collection, which includes cups, mugs, and  milk jugs in various colours for a coordinated look.

Q: Is the lid attached or fully removable?

A: The fliptop lid is part of a collar that can be fully removed from the teapot body for deep cleaning.

What Customers Are Saying

"A fantastic pot! It looks far more expensive than it is and  pours beautifully without any drips. We bought ten for our café and  they've been brilliant."

Sarah Jenkins – The Copper Kettle, Bristol

"Really sturdy and  the colour is lovely and  modern. The infuser is a great touch for our loose-leaf options. My only small gripe is the lid gets a bit hot."

Michael Flynn – Hotel Manager, Edinburgh

Brew It Your Way: The Freedom of a Removable Strainer

Ever wondered why a removable strainer is such a sought-after feature? It’s all about flexibility and  flavour. A fixed strainer can be a nightmare to clean properly, and  over time, it can trap old tea oils, tainting the taste of your fresh brews. This Olympia GM596 teapot solves that with a fully removable stainless steel strainer.

Think of it like cooking: you wouldn't use the same pan for frying fish and then immediately for scrambling eggs without washing it first. The removable strainer lets you ensure a completely clean, neutral vessel for every single brew. It means your delicate Earl Grey won't have a hint of yesterday's peppermint tea. It also means you can instantly switch from serving premium loose-leaf tea to a standard teabag just by taking the strainer out. It’s a small detail that gives you total control over the quality and  variety of your tea service.
