Hand
made European teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to develop new variations of teapot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialization.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.A..
Some state 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 replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
acceptance as more people try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the various tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Studies
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 diseases,
new research indicates. Green teas inhibit 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.
