Introducing Nomad's Perfect Cup: Made from Clay and Salt
Since opening our doors, Nomad has never used a single disposable cup. We've committed exclusively to reusable cups. To be honest, maintaining this principle as a food business hasn't been easy. It costs more, complicates operations, and sometimes inconveniences our customers.
But we never gave up. We believed that our small practice of protecting the Earth would eventually create meaningful change.
The Perfect Solution from Nature: Clay Cups
What Nomad cafe has newly introduced isn't just a simple cup. This is an innovative solution that embodies our philosophy of protecting the Earth.
Just Two Pure Ingredients
Clay
Salt
Remarkably, the GaeaStar clay cups that Nomad uses are made from only these two natural materials. No artificial additives or chemicals are used whatsoever.
Cups That Never Really Die
Unlike conventional cups, these clay cups have a second life:
Stage 1: Transform into Planters After serving as cups, they can be repurposed as small planters.
Stage 2: Complete Return to Nature If a cup breaks? No worries! Simply crush it completely and mix it with soil to create potting mix.
Revolutionary Manufacturing Technology
"Surface Printing™" technology is inspired by eggshells. This innovative technology creates thin yet strong structures, resulting in:
Ultra-thin ceramics: Lightweight but durable construction
Low-energy manufacturing: Significantly less energy consumption than traditional ceramic production
Local material utilization: Uses local clay and minerals, minimizing carbon emissions from transportation
A Journey Toward Small but Meaningful Change
Since opening our doors, Nomad has never used a single disposable cup. We've committed exclusively to reusable cups. To be honest, maintaining this principle as a food business hasn't been easy. It costs more, complicates operations, and sometimes inconveniences our customers.
But we never gave up. We believed that our small practice of protecting the Earth would eventually create meaningful change.
Change We Create Together
Next time you visit Nomad, enjoy your drink served in our new clay cups. Think about the story of circulation, how that cup will transform from your hands to a planter, and then back to soil.
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
Your sustainable choices are shaping tomorrow's Earth.
We're still learning. We might not be perfect, and sometimes we'll make mistakes. But we're trying our best to make this work.
Every morning when we open our café, we hope that every cup we use creates a little less burden on our planet. And we hope our small practice can inspire you too.
