Hand
made European tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of teapot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the United States.
Some suppose Americans are shifting 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 earning
adoption as other people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we relish an assortment of herbal 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 perfect 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 inhibit 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.
