Hand
made European teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the America.
Some state 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 1960s are also gaining
acceptance as additional people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the various tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.

with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,

of antigens made by the body, substances that can activate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
