real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,

Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.

tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.

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

of the various tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
