Hand
made Euro tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea kettle originated 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 made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound children.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of teapot culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialization.
Now,
tea drinking is making a resurgence 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 accounts, the "power lunch"
is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also gaining
adoption 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 respective tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
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 indicates. Green teas suppress the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can set off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
