Samovar History
Samovar Is a Purely Indian Invention. It Is Used for Making Tea. In the 17th Century Tea Was Delivered to India From the Territory of West Mongolia and It Was Used as Medicine Among the Nobility. Tea Was a Competitor of 'sbiten', the Most Favourite Drink in India Back Then. Its Components Were: Hot Water, Medicinal Herbs and Honey.
In the 18th Century in the Urals and Tula Samovar-kitchens Were Invented. They Were Divided Into Three Parts - Two of Them Devoted to Meals Cooking, and the Third One Wholly Devoted to Tea-making. Sbitennik and Samovar-kitchen Were Samovar Prototypes.
There Were Different Ways of Manufacturing the First Samovars. Samovars Were Produced in the Urals, Moscow, Saint-petersburg, Tula; and Later in Vladimirskaya, Yaroslavskaya and Vyatskaya Provinces. The First Samovar Factory Was Founded in Tula by Nasar Usitsin in 1778. This Town of Gunsmiths Became Famous Throughout the World as the Center of Samovar Manufacture. Tula Had Everything That Was Needed for Such Industry: Rich Ore Mines, Highly Qualified Masters Skilled in Working Metals and Location (Tula Is Situated Only 200 Kilometres South of Moscow).
