made Euro tea kettle. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot 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 produced in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some suppose 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 1960s are also gaining
acceptance as additional folks try to avoid caffeine.

we love 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 afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
