Hand
made European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialism.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.
Some say Americans are shifting 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
acceptance as other people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we relish 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.
Studies
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research implies. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can touch off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
