Are wooden mugs safe to drink from?

1 Answer
Are wooden mugs safe to drink from?
Yes, wooden mugs are safe to drink from. Wooden mugs feature a clear resin lining inside out that protects the wood from interacting with whatever you are drinking. This coating makes the mugs safe and helps in maintaining hygiene. Also, wooden mugs make for a visually appealing addition to your drinkware.
