Transparent Bubble Tea Cups - Clear PET Cups with Straws & Lids

Our Transparent Bubble Tea Cup is a visually striking and functional solution crafted from high-clarity food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate), chosen for its exceptional transparency (comparable to glass) that allows customers to fully appreciate the layered aesthetics of their bubble tea—from the rich color of the tea base (e.g., amber oolong, deep matcha) to the vibrant hues of toppings (e.g., black boba, red bean, rainbow jelly). The PET material meets global food safety standards (FDA, LFGB) and is free from BPA and other harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for holding both cold and slightly warm (up to 60°C) bubble teas. It also offers excellent impact resistance—unbreakable if dropped from standard table height—and is resistant to staining from dark-colored teas (e.g., taro milk tea) or toppings, maintaining its clarity even after repeated use (for reusable versions) or single use (for disposable options). The design of the Transparent Bubble Tea Cup is optimized to highlight visual appeal while ensuring functionality. It features a smooth, seamless body (1.1mm thick for 700ml capacity) with no visible seams or printing that could obscure the drink’s appearance, and a wide mouth (85mm diameter) that facilitates easy adding of toppings and cleaning (for reusable models). The cup’s base is slightly raised (5mm) with a reinforced rim, providing stability on surfaces and preventing scratches that could dull the transparency. For disposable versions, the cup is paired with a clear or white PP lid (to avoid blocking the view of the drink) with a pre-cut straw hole that fits standard thick straws (12mm diameter), while reusable versions come with a leak-proof flip-top lid (also clear) that allows customers to see the drink even when the lid is closed. This cup is particularly popular among bubble tea brands that prioritize “Instagrammable” drinks—beverages designed to be shared on social media— as well as cafes and dessert shops where visual presentation is a key part of the customer experience. For example, a 网红 (Internet-famous) bubble tea shop in Seoul, South Korea, specializing in “layered fruit teas” uses our Transparent Bubble Tea Cup exclusively. The shop’s signature drink—layers of mango puree, green tea, and coconut jelly—has gone viral on Instagram and TikTok, with customers citing the transparent cup’s ability to showcase the distinct layers as a key reason for sharing. This social media buzz has led to a 50% increase in foot traffic to the shop over six months. Another case involves a luxury hotel in Dubai that offers bubble tea as part of its afternoon tea service; the transparent cup’s sleek, glass-like appearance aligns with the hotel’s premium aesthetic, while its unbreakable nature makes it safe for use in the hotel’s poolside lounge and kids’ area. Customization for the Transparent Bubble Tea Cup is designed to enhance rather than obscure the drink’s appearance. We offer subtle customization options such as IML (In-Mold Labeling) with transparent or semi-transparent logos (so the drink remains visible behind the logo), embossed brand names on the cup’s base (a subtle, tactile detail), or colored accents on the lid (e.g., a gold or silver lid) that add a touch of luxury without blocking the view. For disposable versions, we can also print small, minimalist designs (e.g., a tiny leaf or dot pattern) using water-based inks that are barely visible when the cup is empty but add a subtle detail when filled with colored tea. We offer the Transparent Bubble Tea Cup in a range of sizes (from 400ml “taster” cups to 1L “shareable” cups) and both disposable and reusable variants. The reusable version is dishwasher-safe (top-rack recommended) and can withstand up to 500 uses with proper care. For brands interested in sustainability, we also provide a transparent PLA version (made from corn-starch) that offers the same clarity as PET but is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions.

Our team can also provide tips on menu pairing—e.g., which drinks (layered, fruit-heavy) best showcase the cup’s transparency—to help you maximize its marketing value.
