Otiem Smooth Ayurvedic Premium Copper Water Bottle - 1 Litre (34 Oz) Leak Proof (Handcrafted)

"It keeps water ice cold and refreshing for hours so it's really helping me drink more water throughout the day!"

- Sukhjinder G., Otiem Customer 

There are too many reasons to switch to Otiem to list here. We
don’t want to drown you with info. But here are 5 little sips
that demonstrate why our bottles may be right for you:

1. Ensure it’s Pure

Otiem bottles are made from the highest quality copper we can source — pure, unlined, food-safe copper, exactly as this timeless material has been worked for centuries. One material, no plastic liners, no mystery coatings. Just a beautifully simple vessel for your water.

2. Partaking of an Ancient Tradition

Tamra jal is the centuries-old practice of resting water overnight in a copper vessel, cherished in Ayurvedic tradition as part of the ideal daily routine. We don't make medical claims about it — we simply love that an ordinary morning glass of water can carry a ritual thousands of years old. And our customers tell us again and again: the ritual is what finally gets them drinking more water.

3. No Leaching, No Breaking

Plastic water bottles can be lightweight but are known for the risk they pose of leaching potentially harmful chemicals into your water. Glass bottles give you clean water, but are breakable. Aluminum and stainless steel are both durable, but the former is most often lined with plastic inside, while the latter is too heavy. Otiem bottles are light, durable, and clean, marrying all the best qualities of their competitors while leaving the cons behind.

4. Artisanal Excellence

Not only does the ancient wisdom come from the Indian subcontinent, so does the craftwork. Each Otiem bottle is raised and finished by hand by a dedicated artisan whose master craftsmanship we are eager to celebrate. With their sleek design and their copper glint these beautiful bottles are as ornamental as they are functional. Adorn your life with Otiem!

5. Planting Trees to Combat Hunger in India

With each order placed on our site, we plant a tree. We’ve teamed up with some of our favorite non-profit organizations and environmental charities along with their reforestation partners to work with local organizations with one simple but powerful objective: to plant (mostly) fruit trees to fight hunger, poverty and climate change in India.

Since many Indian States are prone to severe drought which can lead to hunger as crops fail regionally, we can try to combat this by helping to plant new trees that are able to withstand and survive these periods of drought by using their long root networks to tap into the water table.

With the help of dedicated local Vrilksharakshaks, or “tree ambassadors”, farmers are given fruit trees and encouraged to practice organic and sustainable farming practices. . These fruit tree saplings are distributed in community lands, homesteads of marginal farmers, government school campuses, orphanages, old age homes, and other places of need.

Under this model, planting trees helps foster environmental consciousness and sustainability in these rural communities. Furthermore, these efforts generate local employment at nurseries, specifically benefitting woman and other marginalized groups. 

In addition to helping fight hunger and poverty — the impact of planting trees goes much further than that, aligning with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by contributing to clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, and climate action and biodiversity conservation.

Some of the trees planted include lemon, guava, custard apple, gooseberry, pomegranate, jack fruit, wood apple, and tamarind. All are native trees that produce a high yield of fruit seasonally or year round. As these trees mature and yield fruit, they ensure food for local people during difficult times, acting as an insurance policy during times of drought or pandemic-induced insecurity.

Feel good knowing that with each order you place on our site, you are helping plant a tree in Indian communities near and dear to our hearts immediately ensuring that a portion of your purchase goes right back into improving the communities that have skillfully crafted Ayurvedic vessels for centuries.

There’s a reason yogis have been drinking out of copper vessels for hundreds of years — the ritual, the heritage, and a vessel worthy of the practice.

Copper is an essential trace mineral your body gets from everyday foods — and it’s also one of history’s most storied materials: durable, beautiful, and endlessly recyclable. We’ll always be honest with you: your nutrition should come from your plate, and your bottle should be something you love to reach for. That’s the Otiem way.

We took everything we love about copper and redesigned it into a stylish portable water bottle, perfect for your modern life! It’s time to make the switch to an heirloom-quality bottle today!

Make the switch from the disposable plastic habit today — a bottle you genuinely love using is the best reminder to drink more water, wherever you are. What are you waiting for?

DID YOU KNOW? COPPER ALLOYS ARE REGISTERED WITH THE U.S. EPA AS ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACES.

Copper vessels have stored drinking water across cultures for thousands of years, and researchers have long studied the antimicrobial properties of copper surfaces — one reason some hospitals install copper fixtures. That’s a property of the metal’s surface, not a health claim about your drink: your Otiem is a beautiful vessel, not a filter or purifier, so always start with clean drinking water and wash your bottle regularly, like any drinkware.

Traditionally, water is rested in the vessel overnight and enjoyed first thing in the morning. Trace amounts of copper can migrate into water left in an unlined copper vessel — which is why the tradition calls for plain water and an overnight rest, not indefinite storage.

This copper water bottle is everything Otiem stands for and is our flagship product for a reason. Handcrafted by skilled artisans using one one material, high quality copper, allowing this amazing element to give you all it's natural benefits with every drink. It's compact, easy-to-carry and leak proof, so your stuff stays dry, plus it's eco-friendly since every purchase reduces the need for single use plastic bottles. (Size: 1 litre / 34 oz.)

EASY TO CLEAN LEAK PROOF DESIGN: 

DESIGNED FOR YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE. TAKE YOUR AYURVEDIC BOTTLE TO YOGA, CLASS, THE GYM, OR WORK WITH CONFIDENCE.

With a new and improved leak proof water tight screw top lid and extra seal, your water will always stay where it belongs, even when the bottle is upside-down! Plus cleaning an Otiem is fast and simple, just use lemon or Vinegar water and rinse, or use a bottle brush with a mild soap and air dry.

PRO TIP: Fill your 34 Oz Otiem in the evening, let it rest overnight, and drink it first thing in the morning — the traditional tamra jal ritual, and a beautiful way to start every day with a full glass of water.

ALL THE POWER OF COPPER, IN A SINGLE WATER BOTTLE.

“In China, it was called “qi,” the symbol for health. In Egypt it was called “ankh,” the symbol for eternal life. For the Phoenicians, the reference was synonymous with Aphrodite — the goddess of love and beauty.” These ancient civilizations were all referring to copper: a material cultures across the globe have treasured for more than 5,000 years. It’s time to rediscover it.

"If you're not 100% Satisfied with your Otiem. We'll buy it back!"

Is this 100% pure copper?

Yes. Solid copper all the way through, unlined inside and out — no stainless-steel core, no copper plating over another metal, no interior coating. One material, nothing else. That is the whole design.

How to tell a real copper water bottle from a plated one

A lot of bottles sold as "copper" are steel with a copper-coloured finish, and the listing rarely says so. Four ways to check, whoever you end up buying from:

• The magnet test. Copper is not magnetic. Hold a fridge magnet against the bottle: it will slide straight off solid copper, and cling to a steel bottle wearing a copper coat. This is the quickest and most reliable check there is.
• Let it tarnish. Real copper darkens over the first few weeks — brown, then deeper. A plated or lacquered finish stays permanently bright. A bottle that never changes colour is not solid copper.
• Look inside. Shine a light down the neck. The interior should be the same warm copper as the outside. A silver or white interior means a steel liner; a glossy, uniform interior often means a coating.
• Weigh the price. Copper costs many times what steel does, and it has to be worked by hand. A one-litre "pure copper" bottle at a bargain price is almost certainly plated.

Why we do not line our bottles

Search for a copper lined water bottle and you will mostly find steel bottles with a thin copper layer, which is the opposite arrangement to ours. We leave the copper bare because a lining would defeat the point: you would be drinking from the lining, not from copper, and the vessel would no longer be part of the tamra jal tradition it was built around.

The trade-off is honest — bare copper tarnishes, and you will need to clean it every few weeks. It takes about two minutes with lemon juice and salt, and our guide to cleaning a copper water bottle walks through exactly how.

What you are actually buying

• One litre (34 oz) of capacity, in solid unlined copper.
• A leak-proof screw-top lid with an extra seal.
• A smooth, polished finish — shown above; also available hammered and in antique black.
• Shaped and finished by hand in India, so no two are quite identical.
• A tree planted with every order.
