A Bristol bubble tea company which started life as a small mobile van is celebrating its tenth birthday this week. Cupp, which now operates from a converted shipping container at Cabot Circus, is offering discounts, prizes and giveaways to all customers to mark the special occasion.
Cupp is now one of the fastest growing UK bubble tea brands, offering premium bubble tea in cities across the UK.
It started as a small mobile van at a street food event at Cabot Circus and now has stores across the UK.

Founder Lee Peacock says: “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved over the last ten years. Cupp has come a long way since we opened in 2012 and I couldn’t have done it without my fabulous team, both past and present.
“It all started in a small mobile van at a street food weekend event at Cabot Circus. It was an incredible event to launch our new venture and the response from day one has always been so positive.
“After we spent the summer touring festivals, Cabot Circus invited us back to have a more permanent home, in the form of a converted shipping container. We’ve been there ever since and I’m always grateful for the opportunity they gave us.”

There are now 16 Cupp stores across the UK, with plans to grow to 30 by the end of the year and then international launches in 2023. There are Cupp stores in Cardiff, London, Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, Slough, Leicester and many other towns and cities, with plans to open 50 more stores opening over the next two years.
Lee says: “It’s been an incredible rollercoaster journey, especially the past few years. The bubble tea industry has grown massively in the UK and it’s in a really great place right now - we’re excited about the future and the next ten years!”
The original vision was to set Cupp apart from other bubble tea operators, focusing on being a premium bubble tea brand with an emphasis on using real fruit and quality ingredients.
To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Cupp in Cabot Circus is offering 10% off your whole order when ordering through the Cupp app, as well as free bubble teas, merchandise and special offers. These will be between June 15-21.
