Hand
blown European teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialty.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
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 60s are also gaining
adoption as other people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love 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 perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research suggests. Green teas suppress the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can trigger
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
