Rating of the best armuds for 2020

Tea drinking among different nations has its own traditional characteristics. Consider the popular Azerbaijani glasses (Armuda), the rules for serving the drink, the features of the glasses themselves, the main materials used by manufacturers. The main thing when buying is to know how to choose high-quality ones, not to miscalculate the price. Let's consider new items on the market and popular models of Armudu order books.

Description

Armuds (the accent falls on the last syllable) are national Azerbaijani glasses for tea ceremonies. But such devices are used quite extensively. Armuds are pear-shaped, with a thick bottom, towards the top the material becomes thinner. The history of origin goes back to ancient times, it is believed that this form resembles the shape of a girl or a tulip. The popularity of models is justified by the desire of Europeans to bring something new and unusual to their culture.

Many are interested in the question: what is the difference from the chaos? The answer is very simple, the mess and Armuda are the same species, but the names differ due to nationalities. Armuds are called dishes in Azerbaijan, and a mess in Turkey. They are not produced with a narrow neck, the temperature with this form will not drop in the required range. The thick bottom does not allow heat streams to pass through, so such dishes are comfortable to hold in your hands.

• the special shape allows the tea to be cooled from above and keeps it hot from below;
• beautiful design allows you to turn an ordinary tea party into a holiday;
• allows you to get to know the eastern culture better.

• it is not always convenient for Europeans to drink from small glasses (classic Armuds have a capacity of 180 ml);
• in the classic version there is no handle, it is not very comfortable to hold.

Manufacturing material

1. Glass. The most widespread are glass devices. Such material is the most accessible for mass consumption. It lends itself well to processing, has a low cost and has thermal insulation properties. The glass is transparent, allowing you to enjoy not only the taste, but also the color of the drink. Heat-resistant and shock-resistant glass is used in production. Some manufacturers, in pursuit of low cost, make products from ordinary thin glass, they are usually short-lived.
2. Rock crystal, quartz. A beautiful, heat-resistant material that lends itself well to heat treatment. Products made from it shimmer in the sun and have a noble appearance.Withstands temperature changes, emits a subtle sound when touched.
3. Porcelain. It is mainly used for making armuda in Azerbaijan. They are opaque, but perfect for applying colorful paintings, mosaics, pictures.
4. Ceramics. Available material, clay based. The products are not as elegant as porcelain, but they are inexpensive and convenient. It is very convenient to paint it with various patterns, decorate with a relief pattern or gilding. Ceramics are suitable for both industrial scale and hand painting.
5. Silver. Silverware items have always been very popular, their luxury and significance will betray any ceremony to the level of royal reception. An excellent option for a gift to an oriental person.
6. Other metals (brass, copper, stainless steel). For production, some companies use such metals to reduce costs, and at the final stage they cover the finished product with a thin layer of silver or gilding, thereby giving the devices a noble look. Cup holders are made in the same way. The manufacturer is obliged to indicate all materials used in production in the product description.

Basic rules for serving a drink (how to use it correctly)

1. Tea is brewed in a special, traditional way; the teapot with the brewed tea is placed on the table.
2. Pour the drink so that about 1 cm remains to the edge of the glass.
3. It is more correct to serve together with saucers or cup holders, or with saucers and a cup holder.
4. As the glass is emptied, a new portion of the drink is poured.
5. For daily tea drinking, glass or crystal glasses are used, for holidays they serve silver or gilded ones.
6. Tea, whether black or green, is served without sugar. Sugar, sweets, and pastries are served separately.
7. A prerequisite in oriental tea parties, which is led by the eldest in the house.

Criterias of choice

1. In order not to make mistakes when choosing, you need to know what to look for and what recommendations are given by professionals.
   If you take it as a gift to an oriental person, then choose sets without handles (they were invented for Europeans) but with saucers.
2. The quality of the material. If you decide to buy glass, then check that they are made of high-quality heat-resistant and shock-resistant material, otherwise it will quickly fail.
3. Where can I buy. It is convenient to buy such products in the online store, it is convenient to see the type of product from the photo, and in the detailed description, choose the type necessary for your characteristics. But before ordering online, check how much such a model costs on various resources. This will allow you not to overpay.
4. The best manufacturers. Do not chase brands and overpay. Of course, if you choose as a gift, then you should take a closer look at trusted manufacturers and buy at a higher price. Therefore, which company is better to buy, choose depending on the situation.
