Tea is a fine beverage and needs to be brewed in a precise manner.
Experts know that tea develops its full flavor and delicious effect if brewed in a samovar.
This stainless steel showpiece brews tea in time-honored tradition. A concentrated tea steeps in the 4-cup teapot while water boils in the large urn. For tea perfection, pour the desired amount of concentrate into your tea cup. Use the spigot on the 20-cup water urn to dilute the tea to exactly the strength you prefer. Steam escaping from the top of the water container keeps the teapot at the optimal temperature for infusing.
The pilot lamp indicator tells you when the desired temperature has been reached and your tea is brewed to perfection.
Also included in this set is a 1 liter stainless steel teapot. This unit features a large 4.5 liter heating container.
This item is brand new in its original box.

Russian style smovars
Samovars are one of the most important components of the Middle Eastern and Russian culture. People in these regions use Samovars to make a tea. Itand are metal containers used for heating water. Concentrated tea is poured from a teapot in tiny amounts into a cup. Then hot water is added from the samovar to dilute the tea to the appropriate strength.
While samovars have fallen out of everyday use, samovars are still used for some occassions. In addition, antique samovars are sometimes family heirlooms and decorative reminders of the past. You can find samovars at markets in Russia ( at Izmaylovo Market in Moscow ), but you may have a difficult time getting it out of the country, especially if it is a Russian antique.

In 1991, Russia adoped the so-called "Imperial" flag after terminating the use of the Soviet hammer-and-sickle. The tri-color white, blue, and red flag had not been in use since 1917 - the Bolshevik Revolution sought to stomp out any reminders of Imperial Russia.
Pushkin is to Russian literature as Shakespeare is to English literature.
This analogy has been used, but Pushkin's influence on Russian culture and literature is actually more extreme than any claim Shakespeare holds over English. You'll see monuments to Pushkin everywhere you go in Russia. You'll also hear him quoted (especially if you speak Russian) and find that seemingly inconsequential places have been made venerable historical sites if Pushkin wrote there, stayed there, or spat there.
Pushkin is considered the "father of Russian literature" because he chose to write his poems and stories in the language of the common people - that is, not surprisingly, Russian. However, this was revolutionary, considering that anyone who was someone (the aristocracy) spoke French in 19th century Russia.
Pushkin's work and life is integral to Russian culture. So don't travel to Russia without knowing who Pushkin is!
