Did you know
An indispensable part of a Russian tea party is the Samovar (самовар). The Samovar is a tea urn unique to Russia in which large quantities of tea are brewed to last the duration of an unhurried conversation. The Samovar takes pride of place in the centre of the table and because each samovar has a differently shaped body, each vessel produces its own “song” when the water starts boiling, adding to the cosiness and intimacy of the occasion. The Samovar plays such an iconic role in Russian culture, that it even has its own saying: “to go to Tula with your own Samovar”, which means “don’t take what you don’t need” because the city of Tula is considered the Samovar capital of Russia.
