SUP Cups For Sustainable Travel
While marooned in Kerikeri, New Zealand, I discovered this company. They personally delivered my first cup, right to my door! I fell in love with the cups for daily use and to travel more sustainably!
SUP NZ is a wonderful small business located in Kerikeri, NZ. I love seeing their cups as I travel throughout the country. My first cup was the 12 oz cup, and I also got myself an 8 oz cup for when I want to take up less space in my bag. What I absolutely love are the features. First, the inside is made with stainless steel. Having tried a competitor’s cup, where the inside was a bronze-y color, I can tell you the stainless steel wins for two reasons. First, it doesn’t rust and discolor if you don’t get a chance to wash your cup out for a day or so. Second, it doesn’t interfere with the delicious taste of your coffee like some other cups do. The other awesome part about these cups is the lid. There’s a sliding plastic piece that seals your cup and along with the double walled structure, and my coffee stays warm for over an hour if I need that long to drink it.
I’m so excited to be able to promote them and offer you a 10% discount if you use code “Markels Sparkle“! (Full disclosure – I will also receive a small amount of compensation for your purchases.)
PLEASE NOTE – prices on the store website are in New Zealand dollars! If you’re paying in US dollars, it’s about 2/3 the listed price.
