made Euro tea pot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured 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, prompted
potters to prepare new variations of teapot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.
Now,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..
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 budgets, the "power lunch"
is being substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 1960s are also realising
adoption as more people try to keep away from caffeine.
Today
we enjoy an potpourri of gourmet teas.
Many specialized "healthy" teas are now available.
Many of these are decaffeinated and organic versions
of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
