Tea Time Treasures

A samovar is a traditional Russian tea-making device, often made of metal and shaped like a large kettle. It typically consists of a central chamber for holding hot water, which is heated by burning charcoal or wood in a separate compartment below. The word "samovar" translates to "self-boiler" in Russian, reflecting its ability to keep water hot for extended periods. This iconic symbol of Russian culture is often used to prepare and serve tea in a communal setting, accompanied by a variety of tea-related rituals and traditions. 🫖
