Hand
blown European teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historic and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Currently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some say Americans are switching 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 substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the sixties are also realising
acceptance as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we love an assortment of herbal healthy teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is ideal for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.

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,

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.
