Hand
blown Euro tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
Some say Americans are changing over 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
adoption as more folks try to stay away from caffeine.

we relish an assortment of herbal 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 ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.

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