How does a samovar work?
Samovars are made of several different materials, so you can see many fine-looking samovars in the market like iron samovar, brass samovar, copper samovar, and even silver and gold samovar.
Antique samovars like those from Old Russia, Iran, and Turkey are worth a good amount of money. You can see a samovar tea maker in the center of the table in a traditional Russian home during holidays. The cultures that have been using samovars to brew perfect tea for special occasions have applied their traditional motifs and refined crafts on these cute-looking tea makers that look like an artwork. The silver and enamel Russian samovars, for instance, are treated and worked on like Faberge eggs whose porcelain urns and teapots are embezzled with colorful flowers, plants, leaves, and stars.
Turkish samovars, on the other hand, were generally made of copper and polished brass inlaid with floral motifs and Turkish patterns.
A modern samovar is made of two parts: a base and a teapot. The base is used to boil and heat water while the teapot with an infuser is where your choice of tea is brewed. The tap near the bottom is where you fill your teacup with hot water as the base of your drink. Then you add brewed tea and enjoy this long-cherished beverage. In Russia, Iran, and Turkey, samovars were and still are usually used to make black tea but the modern samovars allow you to cook any variety of tea including green tea, oolong tea, white tea, chai, or even herbal tea.
