Hand
blown European tea kettle. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical 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 drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, sound children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own forte.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some suppose 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 sixties are also realising
adoption as other people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research implies. Green teas subdue the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can activate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
