Mini Husk Chai Cups (85ml) — India's Original Rice Husk Biocomposite Cutting Chai Cup
The TurtleTales Mini Husk Chai Cup is an 85ml cutting chai cup made from rice husk biocomposite — a food-grade, BPA-free material crafted by upcycling agricultural rice husk waste. Featherlight at just 38g, completely unbreakable, and safe for the hottest chai straight from the stove. Perfect for strong cutting chai, espresso shots, and as a safe, non-toxic starter cup for kids. 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 Mini 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 by adults and children.
Are these safe for kids?
Yes. The Mini Husk Chai Cup is BPA-free, non-toxic, and unbreakable — making it one of the safest drinkware options for children. No sharp edges if dropped, no toxic chemicals, and no risk of shattering.
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?

What is the difference between these and a disposable cutting chai cup?

How long do these cups last?
With normal daily use and proper care, TurtleTales cups are built to last several years — far longer than single-use or low-quality plastic alternatives.
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.
