The samovar has been intimately connected to the tea ritual in Russia and the Middle East for centuries. The ancient samovar worked without electricity. Today you can have an electric samovar, which is often a metal samovar (stainless steel), but it can also be made of porcelain (Odette model). Discover the different models with the help of the photos, from classic to avant-garde designs. Antique Russian samovars were often made of copper. They are very popular at auctions. Today, the samovar is widely used in France, in hotels, tearooms, but also in spas and wellness centres.
The samovar: the first device for heating water for tea
The samovar, which has been closely associated with the tea ritual for centuries in Russian and Middle Eastern culture, in Armenia and India, is the quintessence of what can be achieved with tea. It allows you to enjoy high quality tea, always hot, at any time of the day or night. Whatever the model, the function of the samovar is always the same: the lower part of the samovar boils the water; the upper part, the teapot, prepares the concentrated tea, which is served by diluting it with the boiled water, thanks to the tap in the lower part. The small teapot with the tea extract is placed on top of the samovar to keep the tea hot. In this way, the samovar allows each user to obtain a concentrated tea according to his or her wishes.
The samovar: a refined touch for your hotel, tea room or SPA
The samovar can also be used to prepare herbal teas. For a hotel or SPA, purchasing a samovar means adding a touch of refinement. It shows visitors that you're attentive to their needs, even when it comes to serving tea. This is an important point for establishments with a large international clientele, whether business or leisure. The BEEM samovar range offers samovars from 3 to 15 L, from classic to the most modern designs.

Designed for making tea, the samovar can also be used to prepare herbal, fruit and spice teas.
The lower part of the samovar, the kettle, boils the water; the upper part, the teapot, prepares the concentrated tea, which is served by diluting it with the boiled water, thanks to the tap in the lower part.
When placed on the samovar, the small teapot containing the tea extract keeps the tea hot. In this way, the samovar allows each user to obtain a concentrated tea according to his or her wishes. Whether in your kitchen or at a buffet, the samovar allows you to serve tea all day long. The electric samovar will find its place on the table, in the breakfast room, in the SPA of your hotel, in the restaurant and will also look great at an event.
