Hand
made Euro teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialism.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the America.
Some say Americans are switching 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also realising
acceptance as more people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we love an potpourri 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 choice of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already lauded 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 touch off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
