Hand
made European tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significances,
for example, peach shape for extended life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, healthy kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted
potters to produce new variations of tea kettle culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialty.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the USA.
Some say Americans are switching 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 60s are also gaining
adoption as additional folks try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of herbal healthy 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 ideal for tea time 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 disorders,
new research indicates. Green teas subdue 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.

"To make this judiciously sweet cobbler, blueberries are lightly sugared and flavored with orange juice, and then topped with a light and airy batter. And within 40 minutes, this cobbler bakes up bubbly and beautiful."
