Hand
blown European tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
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 earning
adoption as additional folks try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of herbal 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 tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research suggests. Green teas inhibit the expression
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.
