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.
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 implies. Green teas inhibit the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can trigger
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
