Hand made Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a real artistic, historical and cultural value all over the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The first teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century. The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea. By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings, for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune, pomegranate for many, hardy children.

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

Presently, tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States. 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 1960s are also gaining adoption as additional folks try to avoid caffeine.

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 tea time or a simple tea party.
