FIG. 01: THE PAIR
The Hammered Cup Set
Pure copper. Hammered by hand. Made for the first glass of the day.
A dimpled wall, a rolled flared rim, and bare copper inside and out. Fill with cold or room-temperature water, the way the Ayurvedic Tamra Jal tradition does it. No lacquer, no lining, no big promises. Just the metal.
No countdown clock, no fake urgency. Hand-hammering is slow work, and supply moves at the speed of the hammer.
60-day money-back guarantee and free US shipping. If copper is not for you, send it back.
Made to a standard
Three decisions define this cup. None of them were the easy option.
Hand-hammered finish
Each dimple is a strike of the hammer. No two cups carry the same pattern. Tilt one toward the light and watch it scatter.
Rolled, flared rim
The rim rolls outward and back on itself. Smooth against your lip. Easy on the first sip, easier on the tenth.
Uncoated, inside and out
No lacquer. No lining. Just bare copper where it matters most: against the water. That is the whole point of the cup.
Water, kept in copper
In Ayurveda, water kept in a copper vessel has a name: Tamra Jal. The practice is old and the instructions have not changed. Fill the vessel with cold or room-temperature water. Let it rest, often overnight. Drink it in the morning, before anything else.
We will not promise it transforms you. Plenty of sellers do; we make cups. What we can say is that a cup you actually like tends to get used, and a ritual this simple tends to survive contact with real life. These cups do their part: uncoated copper inside and out, so the water rests directly against the metal, the way the tradition intends.
Fill it at night. It is there in the morning. That is the whole ritual.

Anatomy of the cup
Point at any part of this cup and there is a reason for it.
Rolled outward for a smooth landing on the lip. Cool to the touch before the first sip.
Hammered by hand, strike by strike. The dimples catch the light and give your grip somewhere to settle.
Uncoated copper inside. Nothing between the water and the metal. This is where Tamra Jal happens.
Pour this, not that
Copper is generous, but it is particular. Bare copper reacts with heat and acids, so this cup keeps a short menu on purpose. Here is the full list, so nothing surprises you after the box arrives.
Yes. This is the cup's whole job.
Yes. Fill it at night, drink it in the morning.
No. Heat and bare copper do not get along. Keep the coffee in a mug.
No. Citrus reacts with copper. Lemon belongs in the cleaning routine, not the cup.
No. Milk belongs in a different cup. Any other cup.
No. The fizz is acidic, and the cup will notice.
It is meant to change
New copper is bright. Give it months and it deepens. Give it years and it earns a patina: a soft, darkened tone that some owners come to prefer. This is not damage. It is the metal keeping a record of your mornings.
If you miss the shine, the fix costs a lemon. Hand-wash only, always. No dishwasher, ever.
Cut a lemon
Halve a lemon and dip the cut face in plain salt.
Rub the copper
Work the lemon over the cup in small circles. Watch the brightness follow your hand.
Rinse and dry
Rinse with water and dry completely with a soft cloth. Bright as the day it arrived.
Completes the set
The cups do not need accessories. They accept them.
With a copper bottle
Fill the bottle at night. Pour the first glass in the morning. The ritual travels from nightstand to table.
With a jug or carafe
A copper jug or carafe in the middle, cups at each place. Water service that looks like it means it.
On their own
No supporting cast required. One cup, one person, one quiet glass to start the day.
Two or four
Restated for people who scroll fast. Two cups: $49.99. Four cups: $79.99 instead of $99.98, which puts the second pair at $30. Same 60-day money-back guarantee and free US shipping either way.
2 Cups
One for you, one for a guest. Or both for you; nobody is checking.
4 Cups
Down from $99.98. And since these are hand-wash only, a spare pair is never wasted.
Common questions
Q.01What is Tamra Jal?+
In the Ayurvedic tradition, water kept in a copper vessel is called Tamra Jal. The practice: fill with cold or room-temperature water, let it rest, often overnight, then drink. We will spare you the miracle claims. It is an old habit, a pleasant one, and the cup does its part by being uncoated copper all the way through.
Q.02Can I use them for coffee, tea, or anything hot?+
No. Cold or room-temperature water only. Hot drinks, acidic juice, dairy, and carbonated drinks all belong in other vessels. It is the one real limitation of uncoated copper, and we would rather state it plainly than surprise you.
Q.03How do I clean them?+
Hand-wash, always. No dishwasher, ever. Dry the cups after washing and they will thank you for it.
Q.04My cup is darkening. Is something wrong?+
No, that is patina. Uncoated copper darkens and deepens with use; it is the metal keeping a diary. If you would rather have the original shine, rub the cup with a halved lemon dipped in salt, rinse, and dry. Bright again.
Q.05What comes in the box?+
Your chosen set: two or four pure copper cups. Tumbler shape, no handles, each with a hand-hammered dimpled finish, a rolled flared rim, and uncoated copper inside and out.
Q.06Are two cups enough?+
For one person, comfortably. For a household, four means a clean cup is always within reach, since these are hand-wash only and you will not always feel like washing one on the spot. The 4-cup set is also 20% off.
Q.07Do they pair with a copper bottle or jug?+
Naturally. Store the water in a copper bottle, jug, or carafe and drink from the cups. Or skip the middleman and use the cups alone. Both are correct.
Q.08What about shipping and the guarantee?+
US shipping is free on both sets, and every order carries a 60-day money-back guarantee. Use the cups, form an opinion, and if the opinion is no, send them back for a refund.
