made Euro tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialism.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.
Some say 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also gaining
acceptance as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of herbal teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the respective tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,

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.
