made European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea pot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some state Americans are changing 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
adoption as other folks try to refrain from caffeine.

Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
