Hand
blown European tea kettle. Teapots 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 sixteenth Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, sound kids.
Early
teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired
potters to prepare new variations of tea pot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own forte.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the United States.
Some suppose Americans are changing 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 1960s are also earning
adoption as additional folks try to refrain from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic variations
of the respective tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
Research
with green tea in animals has shown it can subdue arthritis.
Green tea, already extolled for its cancer fighting ability,
may also protect against certain autoimmune diseases,
new research suggests. Green teas inhibit the expression
of antigens made by the body, substances that can set off
an immune response. EGCG, a substance found in green
tea is known to suppress inflammation.
