Hand
made European tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank various 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 longer life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.
Some state Americans are switching 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 sixties are also earning
adoption as more people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the respective tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.

an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
