The samovar, Russian name for "self-brewer", originated in Russia and the Middle-East in the 18th century. The large metal recipient that heats the water and maintains the tea's temperature formerly worked with a charcoal heater. Traditionally, the small teapot set atop was used to keep a tea concentrate, mixed with hot water from the base of the samovar in the teacup to obtain a lighter infusion. TWG Tea samovars, inspired by original antique designs, boast porcelain handles and a fine mirror polish and are made of high-grade 18/10 stainless steel to assure the quality of the tea infusion at any moment of the day.

This product is made from stainless steel. To care for this product:

To restore the surface to its original shine, you may use any metal polish that is suitable for objects made of stainless steel, chromium, brass, copper, aluminium and silver.

Note: Always ensure that the samovar is filled with water before the power is turned on. Powering on the samovar without any water may overheat it and cause damage.
