made Euro 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 originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also earning
acceptance as other people try to refrain from caffeine.

Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.

of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
