A Hand blown glass tea kettle is a unique and cost effective gift selection for showers, anniversaries, Mother's Day, wedding presents, or the holidays. Every tea pot is carefully hand finished by experienced glass crafters.

Hand made Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The first tea pot was developed in China in the 16th Century. The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea. By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being made in forms which had symbolic significations, for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune, pomegranate for many, sound kids.

Early teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted potters to respond with new variations of tea pot culture. England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.

Now, tea drinking is making a comeback in the America. Some say Americans are shifting 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal teas popularized during the 1960s are also earning adoption as more folks try to stay away from caffeine.

Today we savor an assortment of herbal healthy 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 afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability, may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders, new research suggests.

Chi Ka Yan interior

Last week I visited Chi Ka Yan, which has just opened in Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire. My Time Out review is now online.
