Early teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired potters to develop new variations of teapot culture. England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.

Today we love an potpourri of gourmet 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.
