Hand
made Euro tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, 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 rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialty.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some suppose Americans are switching 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 60s are also earning
acceptance as additional people try to stay away from caffeine.
Today
we relish an assortment of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can repress arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research indicates. Green teas suppress 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.
