A Hand blown glass tea kettle is a unique and affordable present idea for showers, anniversaries, Mother's Day, wedding presents, or the holidays. Every tea pot is carefully hand finished by experienced glass artisans.

Hand blown European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a real artistic, historic 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 assorted teas, including green tea. By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances, for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck, pomegranate for numerous, hardy youngsters.

Early teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted potters to respond with new variations of tea pot culture. Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialty.

Currently, tea drinking is making a comeback in the USA. Some state Americans are changing 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal teas popularized during the 1960s are also realising acceptance as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.

Today we savor an potpourri of gourmet teas. Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available. Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

Chi Ka Yan interior

Last week I visited Chi Ka Yan, which has just opened in Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire. My Time Out review is now online.
