made European tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialization.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the America.
Some state Americans are changing 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 1960s are also realising
acceptance as more people try to refrain from caffeine.

we love an assortment of healthy 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 ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.

an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
