Copper Cups have been used across cultures not as storage vessels, but as the final drinking instrument in the copper water ritual. Water must first be stored in a copper bottle or pot for a minimum of six hours to become Tamra Jal. Pouring this water into a Copper Cup completes the process, allowing direct contact between copper and water at the point of consumption, which is considered essential in Ayurvedic practice.

Historically, Copper Cups and vessels were used by Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilisations to keep water fresh and free from contamination. Ayurvedic texts such as the Sushruta Samhita describe copper’s detoxifying and antimicrobial properties in detail. Traditional Chinese Medicine and several African cultures also valued copper for its restorative and longevity supporting effects. These traditions were not symbolic, they were practical responses to water safety and health preservation.

Modern science now validates this ancient wisdom. The US Environmental Protection Agency recognises copper as a natural antimicrobial material, capable of eliminating bacteria, viruses and fungi on contact. These cups are made from solid, food grade copper with no coatings that could block this effect. They are designed to age naturally, developing a patina that reflects real copper authenticity rather than wear or degradation.

Q: Why does my copper cup change colour over time?
A: Copper naturally oxidises when exposed to air and water, leading to a greenish or dark patina. This is a natural process and does not indicate damage. Regular cleaning will help maintain its shine.

Q: The Copper on my cup looks as though it's "coming away" why is this? 
A: It's the same reason as above, this cup is made from pure copper, and what you're seeing is a completely natural and expected reaction. Copper, by its nature reacts with air, water, and moisture, leading to oxidation, which can result in discoloration, spotting, or slight surface marks over time. This is actually one of the ways real Copper can be identified, it naturally changes its appearance due to oxidation. The good news is that this can be cleaned very easily, and it does not affect the quality or safety of the product at all.

Q: How do I know if my copper cup is pure?
A: A pure copper jug will have a reddish-brown colour and may naturally tarnish over time. If the inside is coated or does not develop a patina, it may not be 100% copper.

Q: How can I go about maintaining my Copper items?
A - Here are a few simple tips to maintain your copper and minimise tarnishing:

Regular Rinsing: After each use, rinse the cup with warm water (no soap needed), and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Leaving water droplets can accelerate tarnishing.

Natural Cleaning: About once a week (or as needed), you can clean it naturally by rubbing the surface with half a lemon dipped in salt or a paste of lemon juice and baking soda. Gently rub, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Alternatively, use white vinegar and salt on a soft cloth - this also works really well.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Try not to use strong detergents or put it in the dishwasher. These can damage the natural copper finish.

Polishing (Optional) If you like your copper shiny, a natural copper polish or cloth can restore its glow beautifully, but totally optional. Some people actually love the more antique, aged look that copper develops over time!

Lastly, store it in a dry place, and if you're not using it daily, give it a quick wipe from time to time just to keep it fresh.Q: Can you give me a method of cleaning exactly?A:Sure, remember regular cleaning helps maintain shine and avoid build up of oxidation.

Lemon & Salt Method
Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle some salt on it, and gently scrub the surface. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry immediately.

Vinegar & Salt Solution:
Mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of salt in a cup of water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the copper. Rinse well.
