Copper drinking vessels have historical roots that extend back thousands of years. Bill Keevil, director of the Environmental Healthcare Unit at the University of Southampton, said that the practice of “tamra jal” in India has existed for thousands of years. Water is stored in brass or copper vessels overnight and drunk the next morning. It is used in electrical wiring, plumbing and pesticides. Copper as a metal may appear in construction, home decor and household items. Moscow mule lovers know that the vodka-based cocktail is traditionally served in a copper mug, topped with a fresh lime. But copper cups are far from a new fad –– humans have been drinking water from copper vessels for thousands of years.
