Hello, tea lovers! Do you ever wonder where your favourite tea cups originate from? Tea cups are a bit like everything else we require the compounds of life (toys, furniture, clothes etc), they have to be made from raw materials. This is a baseline level, what we need in order to produce the products that make our lives enjoyable. Now, Let's go through the raw materials of tea cups and let you know why our SHI RONG PAPER cup is so interesting.
What is Raw MaterialBefore we discuss the raw materials for tea cups, lets know what constitutes a raw material. Raw materials are those items → which were used to produce a product. We might say they are the basic ingredients or unit counterparts for any item we see around us. Tables and chairs are items made out of furniture, wood is the raw material to make that product; For shirts and pants how about cotton being a major row material for clothing. We would not have the things we need and love in our lives without these raw materials.
A basic understanding is the mix of sand soda ash and limestone, this gives you glass. This is melted at a very high temperature then cooled for the production of transparent glossy solid. The great thing about glass cups is that they show case the beautiful colors of tea on the inside.
Special Characteristics of each Raw Material for Tea Cup Cups are also strong so ceramic cups can have designs painted on them. Which makes them perfect for some special events (birthday parties, or just holiday gather-rounds). The glass cups show off the bright colors of your teas and make everything look even more appealing. But in contrast, paper cups are the ones which you can carry with ease and after use it will be disposed off, so they become handy as well.
But, raw is not equal to one another. SHI RONG PAPER realized they could combine a sheet of paper with some plastic and tea will cups look like up-style but ecological down to the ground. Our paper cups are coated with a safe coating that decomposes in the environment over time. You can drink your tea in our cups without causing damage to nature or contributing too much waste for landfills.
You may be wondering, so what is the unique ingredient that makes our paper cups special? It’s called PLA. PLA stands for polylactic acid, which is a type of plastic made from renewable resources like corn starch. PLA is biodegradable which means it can break down naturally and does not pollute the environment. PLA Paper When we combine the PLA and paper, it results in a cup that can hold liquid whilst not leaking, whilst also being beneficial for all animals on this planet.
We only use high quality PLA for our corn starch cups at SHI RONG PAPER. We also make sure the PLA we buy is from suppliers who care as much about this planet as what happens next. So relax and enjoy your tea, knowing that our cups are made with love: for you — as well as the world. Rather, we also want you to know that when you drink your favorite tea —that what it is in benefits YOU and was made with careful intention.
