Hand
made European teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some state Americans are shifting 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 1960s are also earning
adoption as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we relish an assortment of herbal healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can reduce arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune disorders,
new research suggests. Green teas inhibit the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can trigger
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
