made Euro tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, hardy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some state Americans are switching over from "happy hour"
to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense accounts, the "power lunch"
is being substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also gaining
acceptance as more folks try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of herbal teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

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.
