Hand
made Euro teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted 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 imported to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the United States.
Some say Americans are switching 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 realising
acceptance as more people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we relish an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea 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 disorders,
new research suggests. Green teas suppress the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can trigger
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
