The Making Process
Handcrafted over 3 weeks!
Why Only Three Colors
We use natural plant-based dyes, so our colors stay within red, black, and brown.
No Plastic · No Metal · No Chemicals
Nature gives us all we need.
Not Every Gourd Is for Drinking
Both types have their own beauty — the difference lies in purpose and tradition.
What is Urushi?
Urushi is a natural, food-safe lacquer made from the sap of the lacquer tree. Used for thousands of years, it is one of the most durable finishes for wood, enhancing its natural beauty.
How should I clean my gourd bottle?
- For daily cleaning, simply rinse with water and let your gourd air dry.
- For a deeper clean, once dry, add a small amount of rice or coarse salt and shake gently.
- For occasional sanitizing, high-proof alcohol works well.
- Occasionally apply a little food-grade oil to the exterior to help maintain its natural finish.
Can it be used for alcohol or hot drinks?
- Of course! Historically, gourds were used to carry alcohol, and they can also hold hot drinks.
- For daily use, we recommend keeping liquids below 140°F (60°C). If you pour boiling water into the gourd, leave the stopper off and let it cool before sealing, for safety.
