Bubble tea has been a popular drink among Malaysians for recent years. This is shown by various bubble tea stores opening around town. 

However, bubble tea is not environment-friendly because of the disposable plastic used. Unbelievably, about 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans each year. Why did this happen? About 60% of plastic has ended up in landfills and rivers carry plastic waste from the land to the sea. This is the reason why disposable plastic is the major contributor to marine pollution, and it can be very detrimental to sea creatures. This is the reason why straws are not provided in many restaurants and cafes unless the customers request it.

How to be environment-friendly when buying or selling boba? Tealive has done something to take care of the environment as it is being the first bubble tea stores in Malaysia to produce strawless reusable bubble teacup. This is part of the sustainability activity of Tealive. Tealive is co-operating with OneCup eco glass tumbler to produce the strawless reusable bubble teacup. Being the largest tea brand in Southeast Asia, Tealive thinks that they need to make a change by being a good example and act a responsible role in the environment. A perfect start is reducing single-use plastics!

There will be several types of tumblers available at Tealive soon. One of these looks very alike to Tealive’s single-use cups because it is designed with purple colors. 

The pink, blue or yellow glass version is also available too. A metal straw in this glass version. 

Will you be buying the tumbler with a closing lid, or with a metal straw attached? I believe your answer will be a big "yes", right? Other than having bubble tea, you also can do something to the environment. Let's buy one from Tealive now!
