Description

Armuds (the emphasis falls on the last syllable) are national Azerbaijani glasses for tea ceremonies. But such devices are widely used. Armuds are pear-shaped, with a thick bottom, the material becomes thinner towards the top. 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: how are they different from messes? The answer is very simple, the mess and Armuds are the same species, but the names differ due to nationalities. Armuds call dishes in Azerbaijan, and a mess in Turkey. They are not produced with a narrow neck, the temperature with this form will not decrease in the required range. The thick bottom does not allow heat to pass through, so it is convenient to hold such dishes in your hands.

• a special shape allows you to cool the tea from above and keep it hot from below;
• beautiful design allows you to turn an ordinary tea party into a holiday;
• allows you to get to know oriental culture.

• 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, not very comfortable to hold.

Production material

1. Glass. Glass appliances are the most widely used. 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. In production use heat-resistant and shock-proof glass. Some manufacturers, in pursuit of low cost, make products from ordinary thin glass; as a rule, they are short-lived.
2. Rock crystal, quartz. Beautiful, heat-resistant material, lends itself well to heat treatment. Products from it shimmer in the sun, have a noble appearance. Withstands temperature extremes, makes a thin sound when touched.
3. Porcelain. It is mainly used for the manufacture of armuda in Azerbaijan. They are opaque, but are great for applying colorful paintings, mosaics, pictures.
4. Ceramics. Available material, based on clay. Products are not as elegant as porcelain, but at the same time inexpensive and comfortable. It is very convenient to paint it with various patterns, decorate it with a relief pattern or gilding. Ceramics is suitable for both industrial scale and hand painting.
5. Silver. Silverware products have always been very popular, their luxury and significance will betray the level of royal reception to any ceremony. A great 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 the 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, a kettle with brewed tea is placed on the table.
2. The drink must be poured in such a way that approximately 1 cm remains to the edge of the glass.
3. It is more correct to serve with saucers or coasters, or with saucers and a glass holder.
4. As the glass is empty, add a new portion of the drink.
5. Glass or crystal glasses are used for daily tea drinking, silver or gilded glasses are served for holidays.
6. Tea, whether black or green, is served without sugar. Sugar, sweets, and pastries are served separately.
7. A prerequisite in oriental tea parties is that they are led by the elder 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 professionals give.
   If you take as a gift to an oriental person, then choose sets without handles (they were invented for Europeans) but with saucers.
2. Material quality. If you decide to buy glass ones, then check that they are made of high-quality heat-resistant and impact-resistant material, otherwise they will quickly fail.
3. Where could I buy. It is convenient to buy such products in an online store, it is convenient to see the type of product from the photo, and in the detailed description to choose the type you need for your characteristics. But before ordering online, check how much such a model costs on various resources. This will prevent you from overpaying.
4. The best manufacturers. Do not chase brands and overpay. Of course, if you choose as a gift, then you should look at trusted manufacturers and buy more expensive. Therefore, it is better to choose which company to buy depending on the situation.
