If there’s one thing people in Singapore love more than durian, it’s bubble tea. And when we’re making our boba tea order, we’re most certainly going for the largest size on the menu: yes, please to a Large Passionfruit Green Tea with Pink Cactus Pearls from Playmade; count us in for Gong Cha’s Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Pearls in Large; and who’s going to say no to Chi Cha’s Ding Dong Fresh Oolong Milk Tea with Konjac Jelly?
Since we’ll be sipping our large bubble tea on the go, what better way to cut down on single-use plastics and do so in style with these cutest cup holders in Singapore?
1. Nature, vines and leaves
Whilst you’re cutting back on single-use plastics for the environment, why not keep in theme with these nature-inspired bubble tea cup sleeves?
Retails at a 47% discount for S$4 on Shopee.
2. Summer flower design, adjustable strap
Go totally hands-free with this bubble tea holder that comes with an adjustable strap. The strap can be lengthened so you can drape it over your shoulder with your bubble tea resting comfortably on your hip. This one’s especially useful for when you’re getting your wallet out of your bag as you shop.

3. Chunky chain strap, leather sleeve
Designed with a bold chunky chain and polyurethane (PU) leather sleeve, this bubble tea holder has got to be the one that’s most Instagram-worthy.

While you’re shopping for reusable cup holders, also consider bringing your own reusable cup to your favourite bubble tea stores. In general, large bubble teas are 700 ml while a regular size is 500 ml – so make sure you bring one that fits. With a reusable cup and cup holder in hand, you’ll be ready to take care of the world!
