Cups made of copper (tamba) have been made and used in India for over 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 suitable for water only. Not for milk, citrus and acidic fluids.

Copper discolors over time due to oxidation. Also, the material may show ‘stains’. These are both natural properties of copper and cause no negative side effects when drinking from a copper cup like this. This will mainly occur on the inside. The cups are made of pure copper (99.6%). The outer layer is lightly lacquered. The inside is 100% copper. The cups may also have unevenness, which is part of the natural properties of copper. For discoloration, you can think of dark points / smudges on the inside. In addition, it can become greenish.
