My Story

Hi, my name is Unavu Coconut Shell Cup. I was born in a small village called Kinathukadavu near Coimbatore, South India. My human father owns a small coconut farm, where his family survives on selling coconuts. Due to my small size, I was considered imperfect and discarded as waste. When I gave up on life and thought it was the end of my journey, my father’s daughter, in other words my human sister, a young female entrepreneur decided to upcycle me into a cup. Because of my hard, fragile nature, handcrafting me was time-consuming and cumbersome. But the amazing artisans from my village treated me with patience and care. Initially no one was interested in me, but all that changed in 2020 when Neitiv, a British company, contacted my sister.

They were mesmerised by my charm, and immediately offered to become my foster parents, working with my sister to further enhance and reveal my true beauty. My foster parents named me ‘Unavu Coconut Shell Cup’ - unavu means food in my mother tongue, Tamil. My journey then continued on, to the United Kingdom, where I was hand polished to become the perfect vessel to allow you to drink in style.

My foster parents are seeking a permanent home for me so I hope you will become my new parent. I am not multi-lingual as I am new to the UK, but I am learning English and looking forward to being part of your family, something you will love and cherish. I am 100% natural, so every one of us looks different in terms of colour, pattern, height and capacity, and we may have imperfections and markings. In that sense we are unique in our own way - just like you!

I am lucky to have been handpicked, upcycled and to have survived this long journey. So, I hope you will also take care of me by not exposing me to extreme heat, in a microwave or oven. If you feel I am losing my shine, just apply a thin layer of coconut oil and I will last even longer.
