Hand
blown European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialty.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the America.
Some suppose Americans are switching 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 1960s are also realising
acceptance as more folks try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of gourmet 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.
