Copper cups (tamba) have been made and used in India for more than 200 years. According to ancient Indian Ayurveda, drinking water from a copper cup helps to balance the three energies circulating through the human body, the Doshas (Vata- air element, Kapha- water element and Pitta fire element). These cups are only suitable for water. Not for milk, citrus and acidic liquids.

Copper discolors over time due to oxidation. The material may also show 'stains'. These are both natural properties of copper and there is no negative effect on drinking from a copper cup like this. This will mainly take place on the inside. The cups are made of pure copper (99.6%). The outer layer is lightly varnished. The inside is 100% copper. The cups may also have imperfections, which is part of the natural properties of copper. The discoloration can be seen as dark points/smudges on the inside. In addition, it can become green(ish).

Cleaning and maintenance instructions
• Do not wash in the dishwasher
• Clean with natural soap, soft sponge and water at room temperature
• To make the copper shine, use lemon wedges! Only the outside.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight

These cups are only suitable for water. Not for milk, citrus and acidic liquids.
