    Not only Russian. Also Kurds, Iraqi Arabs, Iranians, Kashmiris, Turks. I am pretty sure many others too. It’s funny how we all adopted similar practise into our culture. As a Kurd there is nothing better than a cold snowy night with Samawar along with walnuts and snacks and tales told by your grandmother. The best childhood memories. Slav to all my people alike.

    The only samovar I ever saw was at Madonna House, Combermere, Ontario, Canada -- a Catholic lay organization founded by Russian Baroness Catherine de Hueck Doherty along Tolstoyan lines. The Baroness was a very strong woman, like a peasant. Her father had been a diplomat, and they had to leave Russia at the time of the revolution. The samovar wasn't used for tea anymore, more of a large antique really. I had a Labrador dog too -- they are beuutiful pets! Thank you for sharing your time with us.

    I see they still sell new wood fired samovar's on Ebay in Turkey (I tried Russia Ebay, but they were all expensive antiques for the wood fired ones) as I desire to use one in the name of tradition that was lost to me. Thank you.

      Wow, that is a lot of tea. I am jealous, I love to drink tea more than anything else. Unfortunately I like my tea sweet, unlike my coffee which I always drink black.

      :D It's normally expensive, 5 UKP per box, but I only ever buy it when it's on special offer, usually half-price, then I buy as many boxes as are on the shelf. 8) I used to drink sweet tea, but that was a long time ago, eventually I stopped. Alas I've never taken to coffee; sometimes I don't mind the smell (though coffee shops are way too strong for me), but I've never liked the taste. My brother though likes all sorts of fancy coffees.
      I have a large mug. Only thing better than a cup of tea is a BIG cup of tea. :D Well, that and *strong* tea; if it can disolve a spoon then it's about ready.
      One time I asked my mother if she'd like a cup of tea, but I made her coffee instead, she was so confused, hehe. Funny how she was so expecting it to be tea, she didn't recognise it as coffee straight away. Our taste buds lie to use sometimes. That btw is why I stopped taking sugar in tea eventually, I found that without it, I could taste the tea better.
      When I started university in 1987 I decided to be sensible and economical, so I bought a catering bag of 1000 teabags (ordinary Tetley, something I'd never have today, cheap stuff). It did last ages.
      Another time after cycling 30 miles, I returned home and made a bucket of tea (medium size new/unused bucket); a dozen teabags, two kettles of water, loads of sugar (this was long ago) and a pint of milk. :D I sat in the lounge, tired but content.
      Whenever I visit a castle, I buy a tea mug with a picture or logo of the castle if they have one. I have a shelf with 16 of them now.
      Ahh, tea stories. I'm so British. :D

      I also buy in bulk whenever I see a good deal, I have a lot of stock all over the house. lol I don't drink a lot of fancy coffee's but my wife does enjoy some of those every once in a while. I just like the regular Folgers or the Black Rifle Coffee blend that is an online shop.

      Very wise! I just checked btw, I have 27 boxes of Earl Grey, not 20. :D Naturally, it's best to buy bulk for things that don't go off, so the other bulk items I have stored away are medium egg noodles (15 packets) and pot noodles (about a dozen, good for winter if the power goes out). Last week I saw jars of mango chutney half-price, so I bought six.

    I enjoyed this video. The music is so appropriate to a tea party. I've seen the samavor before but didn't know how it worked. Must be so nice to have a hot cup of black tea in the cold.
