What Is a Jamun Wood Tumbler?
A Jamun wood tumbler is a handcrafted drinking cup made from a single piece of Jamun (Java Plum) wood. Each piece shows its own grain, so no two are the same. The Kansa Health version is handmade by Indian artisans, hand polished, and made for room-temperature drinking water.
