Hand
blown European tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, healthy 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 forte.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some suppose Americans are changing 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also realising
acceptance as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri 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.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research implies. 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.
