A
Hand blown glass tea pot is a unique and affordable present
idea for
showers, anniversaries, Mother's Day, wedding presents, or the holidays.
Every tea kettle is carefully hand finished by experienced
glass journeymen.
Hand
made European tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..
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 more people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of healthy 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 afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Research
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 diseases,
new research suggests. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can set off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
