Imported from Portugal.
Did you know? The 2,000-year-old grains from the Egyptian excavations have shown to still be viable! Greek amphorae are notoriously clumsy and difficult to transport, yet the ancients used this vessel shape to store olive oil, wine and other goods because the quality of contents could be maintained. This natural shape allows a consistent flow of energy to occur in fluids unhampered by the sharp angles of corners.
Clay allows water to breathe and evaporate. This slight evaporation cools the water which then sinks down the walls of the vessel and as it sinks, it forces water to rise up through the center and move out towards the walls. This process produces constant circulation and cooling, thus vitalizing the water.
