The museum keeps about 300 different exhibit items, representing the four centuries of Russian tea-drinking tradition. The progenitor of all the collection is one of the first-ever samovars, made by Nazar Lisitsin Tula manufactory in 1778.

There are many samovars of different size: from huge samovars with the capacity of 4 vedro (10-12 litres), which were used at railway stations, to a miniature ones with the capacity of merely one glass (200 ml).
