Product Description
Here is an exceptional model of kuksa! With a 25 cl capacity and a reindeer horn finish, you'll have the cup you need to have. 🤩
This wooden cup reflects the ancient traditions of the Sami people living in Finnish Lapland. 🇫🇮 The craftsman who carved it respected the traditions by using birch burl, a noble and not very common part of the tree. But also a natural final treatment with boiling coffee to harden the wood and give it a beautiful brown color. You can use this kuksa for any kind of drink, the wood keeps the heat as well as the freshness of your drink.
Birch burls are becoming increasingly rare in Finland, and it's very difficult to find large ones. At present, we are limited to cups with a maximum capacity of 25 cl. 🌳

Questions and answers about this authentic and traditional kuksa
-
During transport, the kuksa has undergone various temperature variations. Before pouring a hot liquid into it, be sure to let the wood return to room temperature. As a precaution, you can run your kuksa under lukewarm (not hot) water before using it.
-
Yes, if you'd like a kuksa that hasn't been soaked in coffee during the manufacturing process, just ask us - we have some coffee-free models, like the Kuukkeli, for example.
-
We recommend that you wash your kuksa before using it. To wash it, use lukewarm, not hot, water and a natural, chemical-free soap. Once the cup has been washed, dry it immediately with a cloth. You mustn't leave it to dry on its own, as the wood will soak up all the water.
-
To keep your kuksa in good condition, with its beautiful color and shine, you need to maintain it with oil (we recommend grapeseed oil) or a protective wax. You can buy grapeseed oil in our store, but we also make our own protective wax.
-
This kuksa can be used to enjoy hot or cold drinks. The wood will naturally keep your drink cool or warm.
-
No! None of our wooden products are microwave-safe. Microwave heat will damage the wood and cause it to crack.
-
This kuksa is handmade in the far north, in Finnish Lapland.
-
Kuksa were invented by the Sami, an indigenous people living in northern Scandinavia. They were used as personal containers for drinking, eating and even berry-picking. Kuksa are part of Duodji, a Sami craft centered on the creation of functional and useful everyday objects.
-
It takes around 8 days for a kuksa to be finished. Once the kuksa has been carved, the wood needs to soak for about 5 hours in boiling salted water. If you want a darker-coloured kuksa, soak it in coffee for a few minutes. The wood then needs to dry for a week. Then it is oiled.

Sami kuksa
Reviewed by Natasa Ugarcina on April 1, 2022, 10:26 a.m.This was a wonderful experience purchasing my first original Kuksa. The staff emailed me very quickly in answering all my questions as this is the first time I have purchased a wooden Kuksa cup. I also like the history and blog about the traditional culture of the Sami people and how they make and use the Kuksa. Will definitely be purchasing more items from this company.
