Choose the colour above. Cast iron construction gives it a distinctive, traditional aesthetic that works well in settings where the presentation of hot drinks is part of the overall guest experience, whether that is a café, tearoom, hotel lounge or a restaurant with a dedicated tea menu. The black finish suits both contemporary and traditional front-of-house settings, while the red is bold and distinctive, a deliberate presentation choice that works best where that character fits the overall look of the dining space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast iron retains heat well, which helps keep tea at a reasonable serving temperature from pot to table without requiring additional warmers. The material is robust and holds up well to the demands of daily service, though it does require a little more care than ceramic or stainless alternatives, particularly around drying after washing to prevent surface rust over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron construction retains heat effectively during table service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo finishes: black and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust enough for regular daily use in café or restaurant environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents well as part of a considered tea or hot drinks service, and the Asia range offers a consistent aesthetic across the collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 1.6kg, it has a solid, quality feel appropriate for a premium table setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1.6kg empty, this pot carries some weight, and staff should be aware of that when pouring for guests. It is suited to relaxed table service where individual or small-group tea service is the norm, in independent cafés, tearooms, boutique hotels and restaurants, and not to high-volume banqueting, conference or rapid-turnaround service where lighter, easier-to-handle options may be more practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are building out a tea service offering, putting together a full table setting or updating your hot drinks presentation, our team is happy to talk through what works well across different service styles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APS","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":46833201054013,"sku":"FT141","price":22.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":58381498024318,"sku":"FT142","price":24.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/9bdb64f47aebd71939fae70cb28a1e8b.jpg?v=1692712599","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/aps-asia-cast-iron-teapot-195-x-180mm","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
