*** ABOUT SAMOVARS ***

Samovars (sometimes also spelled Samavar or Samaavar) are used to boil water for tea and are a staple in most Persian homes. Pretty much everyone begins their day with a cup of tea, drinks some more after each meal as well as some between meals.
Originally from Russia, Samovars found their way south to the Middle East and quickly became popular. Initially all Samovars operated with choral by placing the hot coals in the designated heating pipe. Gradually the water would heat up with the help of the rising heat from below. Strong tea is brewed in the small pot and placed on the top portion. The steam rising from the boiling hot water below keeps it warm. When serving tea, a glass cup is partially filled with the strong tea from the small pot first and then hot water from the samovar is poured over it. Through the centuries Samovars have evolved and eventually electric ones were invented.
