Finnish Sámi People Coffee Cup with Stirrer: "Kuksa"
Collection: Commercial Connections
The Kuksa is a special cup for drinking coffee outside, especially popular among the hunters and Sámi in Finland.
A Sámi person keeps and uses a cup for their lifetime and uses it for everything they drink; coffee, tea, vodka and water from the stream.
Kuksas are made of carefully selected arctic birch burl and uniquely treated with salt and paraffin. This makes them durable and long lasting while light enough to carry in a backpack or on a belt.
The Finns drink the most coffee per person of any country in the world. Because coffee is served for most celebrations and ceremonies, the Finns have developed special names for the coffee at particular occasions. Some examples are: "läksiäiskahvit" (farewell coffee), "mitalikahvit" (medal coffee, when a Finn has won a medal in some sports), and "matkakahvit" (travelling coffee). A concept of its own is called "vaalikahvit" (election coffee) which means that after you have voted in some election (parliamentary, presidential etc.), you go to a café for a cup of coffee and a bun. The coffee and bun are kind of reward for a good job, in this case for voting in an election.
