10ml Glass Tea Tubes with Bamboo Lids – The Container Your Premium Blends Deserve
What Makes These Tubes Different
Let me tell you how these started. A tea shop owner in Portland told me, "I spend months perfecting my blends, but when I hand customers a sample in a plastic bag, it feels like I’m giving them a grocery store coupon." That stuck with me.
So we made something that matches your tea’s quality. A 10ml glass tube that lets people see those beautiful leaves, paired with a bamboo lid that screws on tight enough to lock in freshness. We tested them with everything—jasmine pearls that lose their scent too easy, matcha that clumps in humidity, even those delicate white teas that turn bitter if they breathe wrong. They worked for all of them.
Here’s the kicker: we make these in the same factory where we produce our penicillin bottles. That means every tube goes through the same checks as containers that hold medicine—no shortcuts, no flaws. If it’s good enough for hospitals, it’s more than good enough for your tea.
The Details You Need to Know
How Big They Are: The size of the glass bottle is 12mm wide and 85mm high (including the lid 15mm), and can also be customized according to your needs.
How Much They Hold: Exactly 10ml. That’s enough for 1-2 cups, which our tea clients say is the sweet spot—enough to taste, not enough to replace a full purchase.
That Seal Though: The bamboo lid screws on with a silicone ring that forms a tight seal. We left one with Darjeeling in a humid basement for 6 months—it still smelled like fresh mountain air when we opened it.
Weight: 28 grams each. Light enough that shipping doesn’t kill your profit margins, but heavy enough that customers feel like they’re getting something substantial.
See Them Up Close

Why Tea Lovers (and Brands) Love These
We didn’t just make a container—we solved problems tea sellers told us about:
Your Tea Stays Alive Longer: A tea farm in Taiwan tested these against their usual paper envelopes. Their oolong stayed fresh for 12 weeks in our tubes vs. 3 weeks in paper. "We’re not throwing away half our samples anymore," they said.
They Don’t Break Like Cheap Glass: We’ve had clients ship these across the country in regular mail (not recommended, but it happens) and only 1 in 500 arrived broken. That’s way better than the 1 in 50 breakage rate they had with their old containers.
No Plastic Taste: Ever notice how plastic containers make tea taste like… well, plastic? These glass tubes don’t absorb flavors, so your tea tastes like your tea, not your packaging.
How to Get the Most Out of These Tubes
We learned these tricks from tea shop owners who’ve been using them for months:
The first step requires careful cleaning: We can use warm soapy water to wash carefully and wipe clean
Don’t Overfill: You need to leave some space at the top of the bottle as it may overflow if it is too full
Seal Them Like You Mean It: Make sure the little rubber ring in the lid is flat (not twisted). Screw the lid on until it stops, then give it one tiny extra turn. Not too hard—you’re sealing tea, not building a submarine.
Add Your Branding: The flat side of the tube is perfect for small labels (up to 10mm wide). One client uses gold stickers that match their logo—looks way more expensive than it is.
Pack Them Smart: When shipping, wrap each tube in tissue paper or put them in those little foam sleeves. A subscription box company told us this trick cut their breakage from 12% to 1%.
How People Are Actually Using These
It’s not just about handing out samples. Here’s what our clients are doing:
Tea Shops: A Boston tea bar puts 10ml samples in these tubes for customers who ask, "What’s new?" They say 40% of people come back to buy a full tin after trying the sample—way up from 15% when they used paper.
Gift Sets: A company in Portland makes "Afternoon Tea Kits" with 4 tubes (earl grey, chamomile, mint, and their signature blend) plus honey sticks. They price them at $35, and they’re their top-selling gift item.
Restaurants: A high-end sushi place serves these tubes with their tea menu—customers pick 2 samples to try before ordering a full pot. They’ve seen their tea sales go up 25% since adding this.
What This Means for Your Bottom Line
These tubes aren’t just pretty—they make you money:
People Will Pay More for Your Tea: A small-batch tea maker raised their prices by 15% after switching to these tubes. Customers didn’t bat an eye because the packaging screamed "premium."
You’ll Waste Less Inventory: Spoiled samples cost money. One online retailer used to throw away $200 worth of stale tea samples monthly. With these tubes? Under $30.
Your Brand Will Look Consistent: If you already use our Health product bottles for tea-infused tonics or perfume bottles for scented sachets, these tubes fit right in. No more mismatched packaging that confuses customers.
You’ll Stand Out in a Crowded Market: Let’s be honest—most tea packaging looks the same. These tubes give you something to talk about in your ads and social media posts. One client’s TikTok video about "the bamboo tea tube that changed their business" got 12k views.
You Can Use Them for More Than Tea: A spice company uses them for saffron samples. A soap maker puts tiny bath salts in them. One client even uses them as mini vases for dried flowers in their store displays—talk about getting your money’s worth.
No Headaches with Customs or Regulations
We know importing can be a nightmare. These tubes check all the boxes:
Made in a factory with ISO 9001:2015 certification—that’s the same standard we use for our penicillin bottles, so you know it’s strict.
FDA compliant for food contact—so you can sell them in the US without extra testing.
FSC certified bamboo—proves we’re not cutting down rainforests for lids. Good for your brand, good for getting through EU customs.
Need copies of any certificates? Just ask. We’ll send them over the same day—no waiting around while your shipment sits in a port.
Make Them Look Like They’re Yours
We can tweak these to match your brand. Here’s what other tea companies have done:
Engraved Bamboo Lids: One client had their logo laser-etched on the lid. They said, "Customers notice it immediately—it’s like a little stamp of quality."
Different Sizes: Need 5ml for super premium teas? Or 15ml for herbal blends? We can do that. A café chain uses 12ml tubes because it’s the perfect amount for their 12oz teacups.
Custom Seals: One client matched the silicone ring color to their brand’s signature blue. It’s a small detail, but customers notice those things.
Custom orders take about a month. We’ll send you a physical sample before making the whole batch—so you can hold it, test it, and make sure it’s perfect.
How We Make Sure They’re Perfect
We don’t just melt glass and call it a day. Here’s what happens before your tubes ship:
We Start With Good Glass: We test every batch of glass for clarity—if it has bubbles or cloudiness, we send it back. Same stuff we use for our health product bottles, so you know it’s pure.
Shape It Right: Machines heat the glass and form it into tubes. We check every 20th tube with calipers to make sure they’re all the same size—no surprises when you apply labels.
Cool It Slowly: Glass that cools too fast gets weak spots. We put ours in a special oven that cools them over 10 hours—this is why they don’t shatter when you accidentally drop one.
Make the Bamboo Lids: We cut bamboo into little discs, then carve threads that match the glass tubes exactly. Then we seal them with a food-safe coating so they don’t get mushy if they get wet.
Test the Seal: We fill each tube with water, screw on the lid, and shake it like crazy. Then we let them sit upside down for 24 hours. If any leak, we throw them away—no exceptions.
Check for Scratches: A real person (not a machine) looks at every tube for scratches or imperfections. Only the ones that look perfect get packed up.
What Real Tea Sellers Are Saying
"I’ve been selling tea for 12 years, and these are the best sample containers I’ve ever used. The first time I handed one to a customer, she said, ‘Is this a sample? It looks too nice to be a sample!’ Our repeat customers are up 28% since we started using them. They pair really well with the perfume bottles we use for our scented tea sachets too—everything looks cohesive."
"As someone who imports tea from Japan, I need packaging that respects the quality of what’s inside. These tubes do that. The seal is so good, I can ship samples across the country without worrying about them going stale. And my customers love that they’re reusable—so many post photos of them using the tubes for loose change or small jewelry. Plus, they match the 16mm Glass Dropper Bottles I use for my tea-infused oils perfectly."
How to Get Your Hands on These
Payment: We take L/C, D/P, or D/A—whatever works with your bank. Most of our clients use L/C for big orders.
Shipping Terms: FOB (Shanghai, Qingdao, or Lianyungang), CFR, or EXW. Our logistics guy can help you pick the best one—he’s been doing this for 15 years.
When You’ll Get Them: Regular orders ship in 10-14 days. Custom stuff takes 3-4 weeks, but we’ll give you a specific date when you order.
Shipping Options: Ocean is cheapest for big orders (4-6 weeks). Air is 3-5 days. If you need them yesterday, DHL can get them there in 1-3 days.
Questions We Hear All the Time
Q: Will the bamboo lid get moldy if it gets wet?
A: Nope—we treat all lids with a food-safe sealant that repels moisture. One client uses them in bathroom gift baskets (where they get pretty humid) and hasn’t had a single mold issue in 2 years.
Q: How do these compare to your 16mm Glass Dropper Bottles?
A: These are for dry tea samples—wider opening, bamboo lid, perfect for leaves. The 16mm Glass Dropper Bottles are better for liquid stuff like tea extracts or infused oils. A lot of our clients use both—samples in these tubes, full liquids in the dropper bottles.
Q: Can I put these in the dishwasher?
A: We don’t recommend it. The high heat can warp the bamboo lid, and dishwasher detergent might leave a film on the glass that affects tea taste. Hand washing takes 30 seconds and keeps them looking nice.
Q: What’s the smallest order I can get with my logo on the lid?
A: 3,000 units for laser engraving. If you need fewer, try our custom labels—they stick great to the glass and look professional. One client uses waterproof labels that survive being dropped in water (don’t ask how they tested that).
