Hand
blown European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, sound youngsters.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to respond with new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the America.
Some state Americans are switching over from "happy hour"
to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense budgets, the "power lunch"
is being substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also gaining
adoption as additional people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we savor an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research implies. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can actuate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
