made European tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some suppose 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 1960s are also gaining
adoption as additional folks try to keep away from caffeine.

of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
