made Euro teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different 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 extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..
Some suppose Americans are switching over from "happy hour"
to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense budgets, the "power lunch"

of the respective tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
