blown Euro tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea kettle was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some state Americans are shifting 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 1960s are also realising
acceptance as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.

we enjoy an potpourri of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
