Hand
made European teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some state 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 realising
acceptance as more folks try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of herbal healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research indicates. Green teas suppress 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.

"This is a very simple crust that will take some practice to perfect, unless you already know how to toss a pizza. Two preparation methods are given to choose from: an overnight rise in the refrigerator and the more conventional sponge-rise approach."
