made European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea kettle was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.

were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, sound kids.

teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.

tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..

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

acceptance as more folks try to stay away from caffeine.

of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
