Hand
blown European tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st 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 made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialism.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
Some say Americans are changing 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 stay away from caffeine.
Today
we relish an potpourri of herbal 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.

with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,

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.
