Every tea pot is meticulously hand finished by experienced
glass craftsmen.
Hand
made European teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in shapes which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, hardy youngsters.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some state Americans are switching 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 sixties are also gaining
adoption as additional folks try to avoid caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an assortment 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 afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
Studies
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 suppress the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can actuate
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.

Recipe: Mexican Chopped Chicken SaladRecipe Description: Light, tasty, not really Mexican. But, the chips and beans surely give it a Tex-Mex type vibe. Recipe: Turkey Cranberry Relish ScoopsRecipe Description: This refreshing relish came about when my sister made a wonderful gelatin salad for dessert on Thanksgiving. Cranberry is a favorite flavor for both of us, but this dessert was more refreshing and flavorful than any cranberry combination I\'d had before. A few changes later, these traditional ingredients have a new life in these festive bites for any holiday party.
