blown European teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, healthy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to respond with new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the America.
Some suppose Americans are changing over 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 additional people try to refrain from caffeine.

of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
