Hand
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
1st teapot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of tea pot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
Some say Americans are switching 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 other folks try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.

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.
