Hand
made Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some suppose Americans are switching 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 1960s are also realising
adoption as more people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the respective tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
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 suggests. Green teas inhibit 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.
