Bubble Tea Cup with Thick Straw for Pearls & Boba | Food-Grade

Our Bubble Tea Cup with Thick Straw is a integrated solution designed to eliminate one of the most frustrating customer experiences in bubble tea service: straws that clog when sipping toppings like boba, taro balls, or large fruit chunks. This product combines a high-quality food-grade plastic cup (available in PET, PP, or PLA) with a specially engineered thick straw, creating a seamless, user-friendly system. The cup itself is crafted to meet food safety standards (FDA, LFGB) and features a mouth diameter of 80-90mm (for 500ml-700ml capacities) that perfectly accommodates the accompanying straw, while the straw—made of food-grade PP or PLA—is 12-14mm in outer diameter (2-3 times thicker than standard drinking straws) with a smooth inner bore that prevents toppings from getting stuck. The straw’s length is calibrated to reach the bottom of the cup (180-220mm for 700ml cups), ensuring customers can sip every last drop of bubble tea and all toppings without needing to tilt the cup excessively. A key design innovation of the thick straw is its reinforced top rim, which is slightly wider (15mm) to fit securely into the cup’s lid hole, creating a tight seal that prevents leaks and ensures the straw does not slip out during use. The straw is also flexible (made from a blend of PP and TPE for slight bendability) but rigid enough to resist collapsing when sipped—even when sucking up large, chewy toppings. For the cup, we offer both clear and colored options, with a reinforced base that provides stability and a body thickness (1.1mm) that resists deformation. The accompanying lid (made of food-grade PP or PLA) features a pre-cut hole sized exactly for the thick straw, with a small silicone flap that covers the hole when the straw is not in use (preventing spills if the cup is tipped over accidentally). This integrated cup-and-straw system is ideal for bubble tea shops, cafes, convenience stores, and event venues where toppings are a core part of the menu. For example, a national bubble tea chain in Southeast Asia that offers over 15 types of toppings (including extra-large “jumbo boba”) partnered with us to implement this system. Prior to using our thick straws, the chain received an average of 15 customer complaints per store per week about clogged straws; after switching, complaints dropped to less than 1 per week, and customer satisfaction scores increased by 28%. Another case involves a food truck festival in Texas, where our cup-and-straw sets were used to serve bubble tea to over 8,000 attendees. The thick straws allowed customers to easily sip mixed toppings (boba + popping boba + jelly) without stopping to unclog the straw, reducing wait times at the truck and increasing sales volume by 20% compared to the previous year (when standard straws were used). Customization options extend to both the cup and the straw: the cup can be printed with logos, brand colors, or promotional messages via IML (for plastic cups) or water-based inks (for PLA cups), while the straw can be tinted to match the cup’s color (e.g., a pink cup with a light pink straw) for a cohesive brand look. For sustainability-focused brands, we offer a fully PLA version of the system (cup + straw + lid), all made from renewable resources and biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. We also provide options for the straw’s design, such as a slightly tapered tip (to easily pierce the lid) or a textured outer surface (for better grip when inserting or removing the straw). When ordering, we can supply the cup and straw as a pre-assembled set (saving staff time during peak hours) or as separate items, depending on your operational needs. Minimum order quantities start at 3,000 sets, and we offer bulk pricing for larger orders (10,000+ sets). To ensure the system fits your specific toppings, we can provide samples for testing—simply share details about your most common topping sizes, and we will recommend the optimal straw diameter. For pricing, customization details, or to request samples, please contact our sales team—we will work with you to create a solution that enhances the customer experience and reduces operational headaches related to clogged straws.
