Hand
blown Euro tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured 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, healthy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the America.
Some state 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
adoption as additional people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of healthy 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 tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled 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 set off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
