Hand
made Euro tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..
Some suppose Americans are changing over 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
adoption as additional people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we relish an potpourri of gourmet 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 suppress 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.
