Hand
blown Euro tea kettle. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the sixteenth 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 meanings,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialization.
Currently,
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 budgets, the "power lunch"
is being substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also realising
acceptance as other people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of herbal 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.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research implies. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can actuate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
