Hand
made Euro teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound youngsters.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialism.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the United States.
Some say Americans are switching 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 gaining
acceptance as more people try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the various tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.

with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue 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.
