blown Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot 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 produced in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..
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 sixties are also earning

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 afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

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.
