To open a bubble tea cup, confidently and swiftly stab the sealed lid.
While many bubble tea shops now offer options other than the traditional sealed lid, this guide focuses on opening a cup with that type of closure. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Preparation: Hold the bubble tea cup firmly in one hand. Make sure your other hand is free and ready to act.
-
Positioning: Lift your free hand above the sealed lid of the cup. Be prepared for the slight burst of pressure released when you pierce the seal.
-
Stabbing (Piercing): With a quick, decisive motion (as if popping a balloon), stab down through the sealed lid with the straw. Aim for the center or slightly off-center, as preferred. Avoid stabbing yourself!
-
Enjoy: Your bubble tea is now open and ready to drink! Savor the deliciousness.
Alternatively, some shops provide a specialized tool for piercing the lid. In these cases, follow the instructions provided by the bubble tea shop.
