Hand
made European tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialty.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some state Americans are switching 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also realising
acceptance as additional people try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri 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.
Studies
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research indicates. Green teas subdue 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.
