Hand
made European tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot originated in China in the 16th 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 significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialization.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some say Americans are changing over 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 60s are also gaining
acceptance as more folks try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of herbal teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the various 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 reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research indicates. Green teas subdue the expression
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.
