The history of tea is an interesting one. Boiling water was a practice done by travelers and soldiers in ancient china. They figured out that to boil water at a certain temperature would remove its impurities giving them potable water. They also started adding green tea leaves to the boiling water to give it a certain flavor. This led to the formulation of tea. In Europe on the other hand, such nomads and warriors also boiled water for it to be potable but they placed wheat and barley grain on their water to add flavor, thereby fermenting such ingredients to what we now know as malt beer. In North America, tea kettles were normally used by cowboys for their coffee during cattle runs and drives. These kettles had to be strong and sturdy for the long haul. For most of the part, a lot of the tea kettles were made of copper which conducted heat easily. In china, tea kettles were made of porcelain which added to the allure of the eastern world. Such tea pots and tea cups were so artfully done that it was highly traded.
