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 originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of tea pot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the USA.
Some say 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
adoption as other people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
