Hand
blown Euro tea kettle. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural 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 drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialism.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.
Some say 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 60s are also earning
adoption as more people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we relish an assortment of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea 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 disorders,
new research suggests. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can touch off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
