Hand
blown Euro teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
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 60s are also gaining
acceptance as additional people try to keep 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 various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research suggests. Green teas inhibit 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.

After six months of criticism and speculation, PepsiCo has drawn up plans it believes will drive growth at the company. However, as Michelle Russell writes, although key questions have been answered, the measures have led to more being put to the US food and beverage giant. Flowers Foods has forecast a return to earnings growth in 2012 despite continued pressure from input costs. Kerry Group has told just-food that it is "astonished" at claims it is taking a "hardline anti-union stance" over potential job cuts at a UK facility.
