Hand
blown European teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different 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 extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of teapot 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 resurgence in the U.S.
Some state Americans are switching 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
adoption as other people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research suggests. Green teas suppress 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.
