Customer Reviews

Brown Betty from Deb at Olde Church Emporium - The Ultimate Teapot
Being from Canada, my wife and I enjoy tea as much as, and nearly as often, as our American friends enjoy coffee! However, we found that finding a quality tea pot in the States is nearly impossible. Certainly none of the department stores have them.

I remember the brown betty teapot my mom had when we were growing up, and recall she never used anything else. I was determined to find one.

I looked all over locally, without success. And then I searched the internet. There are a lot of imitation brown betty teapots, but I was determined to find "the real thing". I ordered first from a dealer who sold both the imitation and the genuine article--supposedly. However, when I ordered from that dealer, I was informed (some days later) that they were out of stock, and "would I like an imitation brown betty instead?" No, thanks!

I then ordered from Olde Church Emporium in Jackson PA. The price was reasonable. It was the "genuine article" as claimed by the online ad, so I ordered.

Well, I guess I didn't realize quite how fragile these little teapot are. The first one arrived, apparently well packed, but with a fractured handle. I was mortified! First, I tried gluing it with crazy glue--no luck. It leaked like a sieve. I emailed Deb at Olde Church Emporium, and she emailed back and said "Not to worry. We'll send you a new pot." Hooray! There IS real customer service somewhere!

The second pot arrived a few days later. I took the pot out of its packing. Fantastic! It made the journey unscathed. I then unwrapped the lid--broken in about 6 pieces! My heart sank. Where's my crazy glue?

I emailed Deb again and said, "I wonder if you'd have just a lid? The rest of the pot is fine".

Today, my new lid arrived. It looks beautiful on my new Brown Betty 8 cup teapot. Hmmm . . . time for a nice cup of Darjeeling.

These are absolutely the world's best teapots, and this is the best place on the "net" to get them.

A Satisfied Customer

Decorative only!
I like tea, and I wanted an 8-cup teapot that would last a long time. This item looked good in the reviews. The first time I made tea in this teapot, I heard these high-pitched "plink" noises when I put in boiling water. After only FOUR pots of tea, the glaze both inside and outside was covered with innumerable cracks and water oozed out. It was my impression that making tea involved both tea AND boiling water, but this teapot was so poorly made that it is not possible to make hot tea without destroying it. DO NOT BUY THIS!

High quality product
We really enjoy this tea pot. It's very high quality, and made in England, which is really what we were looking for. Makes a great cup of tea, strongly recommend.
