Some of the Best Teas on Earth Come From Russia

Best Russian Tea Blends

Whenever my wife travels to Russia to visit her family she always brings back a variety of Russian tea leaves. Whenever we entertain in our home, these teas are always a big hit. Russians love their tea so much that when you ride on the Russian rails, there is nearly always a Samovar at the front of every passenger car. A Samovar is a metal container used to boil water for coffee or tea, but in Russian that usually means tea.

You don't have to go to Russia to try a sampling of some of these great teas though, as they are available as a specialty item in various places.

Russian Samovar

The Russian Samovar

The Russian Samovar is commonly seen in Russian railway passenger cars. Russians love their tea and whenever Russians are traveling on the railways, you can be sure that there is going to be hot water available for making tea. The Russian Samovar is the traditional method for heating hot water for making coffee or tea. Normally Samovars use coal or charcoal as a heat source, and some of them have a container at the top to insert tea leaves, if the sole purpose of that particular Samovar is to make tea.

Samovars are also popular in many Middle Eastern Countries, but to find them in America one must go into a neighborhood where the population is mainly Mid Eastern or Slavic. Samovars have been around for hudreds of years. The first known Samovar that was actually manufacturered was "made in 1717." Source: Wikipedia There have been some Samovar like items that have been dated back "as far as 3,600 years." Source: Wikipedia.
