Royal Patrician Closed
Bad news for lovers of English made china teaware! US importer Royal Patrician closed as of May 8th. We still have some inventory left on the four patterns we carry. If you’ve been thinking about buying or adding to a tea service, don’t delay. We expect to the line to be gone by year end.
Chatsford Teapots
The Chatsford teapot system was originally designed and patented by The London Teapot Company. Their unique method of incorporating a large nylon mesh infuser within the Chatsford teapot continues to make the Chatsford one of the best teapots for preparing loose leaf teas. The fine mesh works equally well with whole leaf or finely cut (CTC) teas. Originally produced in England, the London Teapot Company currently manufactures their product in Thailand. We stock all available colors in the 2, 4, and 6 cup sizes. We also stock their large 10 cup teapot in Rockingham Brown and white.
