The surface of each container contains a piece of blackboard, so you can label it with “coffee,” “cocoa” orr name as you would a disposable cup or box. The beauty of it is you can erase the writing later on and reuse the container. Less waste of natural resources, less garbage and more savings for you!
The glasses in the series (59 to 69 yuan) come in different candy colors and are safe to use with boiling water.
