Hand
blown Euro tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound youngsters.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.
Some state Americans are changing 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 1960s are also realising
adoption as other people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,

of antigens made by the body, substances that can set off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
