Husk Chai Cups (140ml) — India's Original Rice Husk Biocomposite Kulhad Chai Cup
The TurtleTales Husk Chai Cup is a 140ml cutting chai cup made from rice husk biocomposite — a food-grade, BPA-free material crafted by upcycling agricultural rice husk waste. Featherlight at just 55g, completely unbreakable, and safe for hot chai straight from the stove. A modern, reusable upgrade to disposable kulhads, clay cups, and single-use plastic chai cups. Made in India. Certified non-toxic.
What Is Rice Husk Biocomposite?
Rice husk biocomposite is made by blending upcycled rice husk — a byproduct of Indian rice milling — with a food-grade polypropylene (PP) binding polymer. The result is a tough, lightweight, non-toxic material built for years of daily use. It upcycles agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned, reducing carbon emissions while creating a premium, reusable product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is rice husk biocomposite safe for hot chai?
Yes. TurtleTales Husk Chai Cups are food-grade, BPA-free, and non-toxic. They are completely safe for hot chai, tea, and other warm beverages for daily use.
Are these microwave safe?
Yes — for reheating purposes only. The cups have been tested up to 100°C and are safe for microwave use under 1 minute for reheating. Not intended for prolonged microwave cooking.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes. Dishwasher safe on the top rack. For best long-term results, gentle hand washing is recommended.
How is this different from a traditional kulhad?
Traditional clay kulhads are single-use and fragile. TurtleTales Husk Chai Cups are reusable, unbreakable, and made from upcycled rice husk — giving you the same earthy, natural aesthetic with zero waste and years of durability.
How long do these cups last?
With normal daily use and proper care, TurtleTales Husk Chai Cups are built to last several years — far longer than disposable or low-quality plastic alternatives.
Is rice husk biocomposite biodegradable?
Rice husk biocomposite contains a food-grade PP binder, so it is not fully biodegradable. However, it upcycles agricultural waste, reduces raw material demand, and is designed for long-term reuse — making it a significantly more sustainable choice than virgin plastic or single-use kulhads.
What is Carbon Karma?
Carbon Karma is TurtleTales' circular economy reward program. Every purchase earns Carbon Karma points that track the positive environmental impact of choosing HuskMade products over conventional disposable alternatives.
Where are TurtleTales products made?
TurtleTales products are designed and made in India, using locally sourced rice husk waste from Indian rice mills.
