real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.

tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.

to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense budgets, the "power lunch"
is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also realising
adoption as more people try to stay away from caffeine.

of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
