Hand blown Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The first teapot originated in China in the 16th Century. The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea. By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being produced in forms which had symbolic significances, for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck, pomegranate for numerous, healthy children.

Early teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture. England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.

Now, tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA. Some say 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 earning acceptance as additional people try to keep away from 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 tea time or a simple tea party.
