Hand
blown European tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, hardy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialty.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the USA.
Some state Americans are changing 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also gaining
adoption as other folks try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.

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.
