what is Samawer

The samawer is a tool for preparing chai. We called the project the samawer because we believe that chai is the strongest social bond among Eastern peoples, and among Iraqis in particular.

Tea culture has developed significantly in Iraqi society, and has become more than just a daily routine - it is a social phenomenon. Trendy cafés have emerged as major social hubs that unite people from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are engaging in conversations, work, or simply enjoying a cup of tea or coffee, Samur Café provides a space for meaningful interactions.

It is an essential hub for gathering and communication.

When people meet at a coffee shop, they often engage in conversations with friends, colleagues, or even strangers. Chai acts as a catalyst for these interactions, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

chai culture enhances the feeling of belonging to the Iraqi community and communication between customers. It provides a common ground for people to communicate and exchange ideas and even personal stories.
