Hand
made Euro teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialism.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the USA.
Some state Americans are shifting 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 realising
acceptance as other people try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of healthy 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 ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research indicates. 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.

"Big juicy burgers filled with chilies, cheese and mushrooms, then grilled and basted with steak sauce. Use any type of cheese you like. When I have a cook out, and I'm making burgers, this is what my wife asks for all the time!"
