blown European tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank assorted teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, healthy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of teapot culture.

of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.

tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.

to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense budgets, the "power lunch"
is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
acceptance as additional folks try to stay away from caffeine.

of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
