Advance Information*

Introduction

In Kerala, India, the tradition of using earthenware to store and cool water has long been cherished. With its ability to naturally cool water through the process of perspiration, this practice not only provides a refreshing drink but also promotes an eco-friendly lifestyle. Today, Graamyam brings to you a beautiful recreation of this age-old tradition with their "Kooja and Coppa - Terracotta Jug and Mugs Set." This elegant set includes a terracotta water jug (kooja) and six matching cups (coppa), perfect for bringing a touch of heritage and nature-friendly options to your modern home.

Design and Aesthetics

The "Kooja and Coppa" set by Graamyam is more than just functional; it is also a beautiful addition to any home. The rich, earthy tones of the terracotta provide a visually pleasing element that complements a variety of kitchen or dining room decors. The jug and mugs have been crafted with precision, featuring a smooth surface finish that exudes a rustic but sophisticated charm. The kooja holds a generous amount of water, making it ideal for serving a family or group of friends, while the smaller coppa cups fit comfortably in the hand, making every sip a delight.

Material and Craftsmanship

The set is made entirely of terracotta, a material that has been used for centuries for its exceptional properties. Terracotta is known for its natural ability to keep water cool, making it a perfect choice for creating a water jug and cups that offer not just aesthetic appeal but also practical benefits. Each piece in the "Kooja and Coppa" set is handcrafted by skilled artisans, maintaining the age-old techniques that have been passed down through generations. This ensures that every set is not only unique but also made with the utmost care and precision.

Health Benefits

Using terracotta for storing and drinking water has multiple health benefits. The clay used in these pots is alkaline in nature, which helps in balancing the pH level of the water. This neutralizes the acidity of the water and helps in maintaining good health. Moreover, drinking water stored in terracotta pots can improve metabolism and digestion, making it a healthier option compared to its plastic or metallic counterparts.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Graamyam’s "Kooja and Coppa" set is an eco-friendly choice, aligning with the growing movement towards sustainable living. By using traditional materials and methods, Graamyam contributes to reducing the environmental impact. Terracotta is a natural and biodegradable material, ensuring that once its lifecycle is over, it returns to the earth without causing harm to the environment. The "Kooja and Coppa" set not only serves water but also serves the planet by promoting sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices.

Usage and Maintenance

Using the Kooja:

1. Initial Setup: Before first use, it’s recommended to rinse the kooja thoroughly with warm water.
2. Filling the Jug: Pour water into the kooja and allow it to sit for a few hours. Terracotta naturally cools the water, making it ideal for drinking.

Using the Coppa:

1. Clean Before Use: Rinse the coppa with warm water to ensure it's clean.
2. Serving Water: The coppa is perfectly sized for individual servings, ensuring that each person gets a cool, refreshing drink.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

1. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild detergent to clean both the kooja and coppa. Avoid using soap excessively as it can absorb into the clay.

3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
