What Is A Teapot?
A teapot is a vessel, used for steeping tea leaves or a herbal mix in near-boiling water.Tea may be either in a tea bag or loose, in which case a tea strainer will be needed to catch the leaves inside teapot when the tea is poured.
Teapots usually have an opening with a lid at their top, where the tea and water are added, a handle for holding by hand and a spout through which the tea is served.
Some teapots have a strainer built-in on the inner edge of spout. A small hole in the lid is necessary for air access inside to stop the spout from dripping and splashing when tea is poured.
In modern times, a tea cosy may be used to enhance the steeping or to prevent the contents of the teapot from cooling too rapidly.
A tea connoisseur will warm the teapot by rinsing it with boiling water and then draining it completely before making tea.

The teapot probably derived originally from the ceramic kettles and wine pots which were made in bronze and other metals and were a feature of Chinese cultural life for thousands of years.The earliest example of a teapot that has survived to this day seems to be the one in the Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware It has been dated to 1513 and attributed to Gongchun
From the end of the 17th century tea was shipped from China to Europe as part of the export of exotic spices and luxury goods. The ships that brought the tea also carried porcelain teapots. The majority of these teapots were painted in blue and white underglaze.
Porcelain being completely vitrified will withstand sea water without damage, so the teapots were packed below deck whilst the tea stayed on top in the dry.
Tea drinking in Europe was initially the preserve of the upper classes since it was very expensive.
Porcelain teapots were particularly desirable because porcelain could not be made in Europe at that time.
It wasn't until 1765 that William Cookworthy devised a way of making porcelain and founded a works at Plymouth UK for the production of a porcelain similar to the Chinese.
When European potteries began to make their own tea wares they were naturally inspired by the Chinese designs.

Taking Care of Your Teapot
Unglazed teapots are recommended not to be washed in a dishwasher or soapy water. They should be rinsed with warm water only and left upside down to dry.If unglazed teapot is used with different teas, it is advisable not to mix them and have dedicated teapots for every tea variety to preserve the taste.
Natural tannin sediment in an unglazed teapot should be left untouched as over time it will enhance the flavoring without flaking off as in a glazed teapot.
To remove build-up of tannin in a glazed teapot one can use boiling water and a couple teaspoons of baking soda and leave it overnight, then wipe and rinse to desired state.

Green Tea
Green tea is a "true" tea, meaning it is made solely with the leaves of Camellia sinensis, that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing.Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan to the Middle East.
Recently, it has become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed.
Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where it is grown that can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, processing and harvesting time.
Over the last few decades green tea has begun to be subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits, with some evidence suggesting regular green tea drinkers may have lower chances of heart disease and developing certain types of cancer.

The Japanese Tea Ceremony
The Japanese tea ceremonyis a multifaceted traditional activity based on Taoism and influenced by Zen Buddhism, in which powdered green tea, is ceremonially prepared and served to others.The get-togethers for chanoyu are called chakai (literally "tea meeting") or chaji (literally "tea function"). Usually the term chakai is used to refer to a relatively simple course of hospitality that includes the service of confections, usucha (thin tea), and perhaps tenshin (a light snack), while the term chaji refers to a more formal course of hospitality including kaiseki (a special kind of full-course meal), confections, koicha (thick tea), and usucha (thin tea).
A chaji may last up to four hours.
A tea practitioner should strive to be knowledgable if not expert in the wide range of disciplines and traditional arts that are integral to chanoyu -- for example, the production and types of tea, kimono, calligraphy, flower arranging, ceramics, and incense -- in addition to his or her school's tea practices. Because of this, the study of the tea ceremony is virtually endless.
Even to participate as a guest in a formal tea ceremony requires knowledge of the prescribed gestures and phrases, the proper way to take tea and sweets, and general deportment in the tea room.
