The Turkish tea tradition is one of the world's great daily rituals -- two stacked kettles, a slow double brew, glasses so clear you can watch the color deepen. Founded in Newport Beach in 2018, SAKI was built by two partners with a shared passion for exceptional coffee and tea experiences, and a conviction that traditional brewing methods deserved a modern home. Their Electric Samovar brings the art of Turkish tea into the contemporary kitchen without losing a drop of the ceremony.
In Turkey, tea is not a beverage -- it is a practice. Two stacked kettles, the bottom boiling water and the top steeping a concentrated brew, then combined to each drinker's preferred strength in a tulip-shaped glass. It is slow, deliberate, and deeply communal. SAKI was founded in Newport Beach in 2018 by two partners united by a mutual passion for exceptional coffee and tea, and a conviction that the rituals surrounding them deserved to be preserved rather than simplified away.
Their Electric Samovar was their first and defining product -- a reimagining of the classic Turkish double-boiler tea maker in a clean, contemporary form that belongs on any countertop. The samovar keeps water at the perfect temperature for hours, the tea steeps at its own pace, and the result is the same cup that has been poured across Turkish households for generations -- now available in any kitchen, without the open flame or the guesswork.
On a registry, SAKI's Turkish tea set is the morning ritual gift -- the one that turns the first quiet hour of a new life together into something worth slowing down for.
