Single Wall Cups made of paper are usually not suitable for brewing tea due to the following reasons:
In terms of material characteristics
Limited waterproofness: Although paper single-walled cups usually have waterproof coatings on their inner walls, these coatings may experience performance degradation when exposed to high-temperature hot water for extended periods of time, posing a risk of water leakage and causing inconvenience in use.
Insufficient heat resistance: The paper itself has poor heat resistance, and the hot water temperature during tea brewing is usually high, which may cause the paper cup to deform, soften, or even be damaged, unable to maintain a good cup shape and affecting its use.
The impact on the quality of tea
Unable to preserve tea aroma: Paper materials have relatively poor breathability and cannot effectively retain the aroma of tea leaves like ceramics, glass, and other materials. This can cause the tea aroma to quickly dissipate into the air, affecting the experience of enjoying the aroma during tea tasting.
Possible odor: Some paper cups may be treated with chemicals to achieve waterproofing, oil resistance, and other effects. When exposed to high-temperature tea water, these chemicals may release some odors, which can affect the taste and quality of the tea soup.
In terms of user experience
Poor insulation effect: Paper single-walled cups are thin and have poor insulation performance, making them easy to get hot when taken after brewing tea, causing inconvenience to users.
Lack of texture: Compared with cups made of ceramic, glass and other materials, paper single wall cups lack texture and touch, which cannot provide an elegant and comfortable tea tasting experience, and are difficult to match the traditional tea culture atmosphere.
