Water poured out after one night. Somewhere between straw and weak tea.
You will see the colour on the first morning.
Fill it before bed. What you pour out is a pale amber. The colour comes from the natural heartwood.

The whole ritual takes a minute.
It is printed on the box in three lines, and there is nothing more to it.
10 p.m.
Fill it with water.
Tap water, filtered water, whatever you already drink. To the top. Leave it on the counter and go to bed.
Overnight
Soak overnight.
The inside wall is left raw, so the water sits directly against the heartwood the whole time.
6 a.m.
Drink it in the morning.
The water will have gone a light amber. Drink it, rinse the tumbler, fill it again for tonight.
It lasts for weeks.
Then it tells you.
With daily use the colour of the water gradually lightens over several weeks. Many people choose a new tumbler at that point.
Nothing is added to the wood to keep the colour going, and nothing can be — the inside is bare heartwood, and there is nowhere for a top-up to hide.
Our Saharanpur floor. The tumbler is turned.
Turned by hand in Saharanpur.
Only the heartwood is used — the dense, dark centre of the trunk. Each tumbler is turned and hollowed on a lathe from one solid piece. It is not laminated, not joined, not stained and not coated.
We make it on our own floor in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Indian Roots is the house brand of Inception Global Trade Solutions, which has been turning and exporting from that floor since 2016.
Nothing between the water and the wood.
The outside is sanded and hand-polished. The inside is left raw on purpose. It is the bare bore of the heartwood, and it is the only surface your water ever touches.

What this is, and what it isn’t.
What it is
A traditional Indian craft object. Vijaysar heartwood has been part of Indian tradition and everyday life for centuries, and this tumbler is the oldest way of experiencing it: water, wood, time. It is a small daily ritual, nothing more.
What it isn’t
A handcrafted wooden tumbler. Not a medical device; no health claims are made.
Made by the people who export it.
Indian Roots is the direct-to-home brand of Inception Global Trade Solutions Pvt. Ltd. The same workshop, the same wood, the same hands — minus the importer.

Where it is made
Questions.
How do I use it?
Fill the tumbler with drinking water at night and leave it on the counter. In the morning the water has a light amber tint from the heartwood. Drink it, rinse the tumbler, and fill it again for tonight.
How long does one tumbler last?
With daily use the colour of the water gradually lightens over several weeks. Many people choose a new tumbler at that point.
How do I pay?
Checkout takes about a minute and you do not need an account. Pay by UPI, debit or credit card, or net banking through Razorpay. Use code WELCOME10 at checkout for 10% off your first order.
How much water does it hold?
About 100 ml — a small glass. It stands 155 mm tall and weighs around 190 g.
Is it safe to drink from?
Yes. Nothing has been added: no lacquer, wax or sealant to leach, and no coating to break down. Rinse it with water and stand it upside down to dry. Avoid soap, which sits in the open grain.
Is every tumbler exactly the same?
No two are identical. Vijaysar is a natural material, so grain, colour and density vary slightly from piece to piece — that variation is part of working with real heartwood rather than a manufactured material.
Is the wood genuine Vijaysar?
Yes. Each tumbler is turned from genuine Vijaysar (Pterocarpus marsupium) heartwood, with the interior left unfinished so the water sits directly against the wood. The amber colour comes from the natural heartwood.
What does the water taste like?
Faintly woody and a little bitter. Closer to weak tea than to anything sweet. Most people stop noticing within a week.
How do I clean it?
Rinse with water and air-dry it upside down. No soap, no dishwasher, no boiling water — anything that strips or seals the inside works against the point of it.
When will it arrive?
Orders leave our workshop in Saharanpur on same day, and shipping within India is included in the price.
Is this for me?
It’s for anyone who likes natural, handmade objects and a simple morning routine. It makes no health claims.
