Brief history of Russian Samovar

It was difficult to imagine a Russian tradition of drinking tea without samovars used.

So, how and when Samovars was developed?

Historical predecessors brass samovars are normal production teapots. They are very popular in ancient China and, perhaps, was the Mongols or other eastern tribes, who bring them to Russia.

But, the main drawback was that teapots - hot water quickly cooled.

At 18 century the first known device that looks like samovars. It was the usual kettle with a metal pipe inside. Tube was heated by burning coal - so the water in a teapot remains hot.

Next, special device called " Kuhnya " (kitchen), apparently - a simple device for preparing food in the open air. It was the same kettle - but for " Shea & quot; " and Kasha & quot; inside it.

Tea was not popular at the time - because of the prices of tea, which was exported from China.

But In relation to conquer Siberia tea became less expencive and Russian tradition of drinking tea have began.

At, that times (18 century also) Russia " Kuhnya " device was changed to prepare not only " Shea & quot And " Kasha & quot;, but also to retain hot water for tea inside. " Kuhnya " was divided into 3 sections - one for " Shea & quot; one " Kasha & quot; and one for hot water

Next step is to divide the devices - so, as Samovar - only for tea.
