Read moreWhat 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 coarse salt and shake gently.
- For occasional sanitizing, a little high-proof alcohol works well.
- Occasionally apply a little food-grade oil to the exterior to help maintain its natural finish.
- When not in use, store your gourd in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place with the stopper removed.
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.
