Hand
blown Euro teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot was developed 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 significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialism.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
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 accounts, the "power lunch"
is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also earning
adoption as additional people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of herbal healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research implies. Green teas suppress the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can activate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
