Hot White Peach tea and a snickerdoodle cookie from Barnes & Noble in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas, never tasted so good on a frigid day in January! I told the staff that it wasn’t necessary to double cup my tea because I had an insulated cup sleeve to protect my hands.
We arrived the day before a dangerous ice storm hit the area. The day after the storm, I explored Ft. Worth.
I walked through Trinity Lake Duck Park across the street from the hotel. It was so cold, only the ducks were out!
I walked carefully on the sidewalks trying to find a path that wasn’t icy while vehicles tried to stop and start at traffic lights. Parked vehicles were covered with ice. My nose, cheeks, and ears turned red!
In December 2008 on an earlier trip to Ft. Worth, we explored the city with our friends in windy, cold temperatures. We enjoyed watching the cowboys herd the longhorns which they do twice a day.
- The longhorn was very patient while having his photo taken with Irene and Mary!
This longhorn didn’t seem to mind the cold. For all you humans, I strongly recommend taking a warm coat, mittens, scarf, hat, long johns, and your Kup Kollar for hot beverages. You’ll be more comfortable in Ft. Worth’s bitter cold temperatures during the winter months!

- Thinsulate insulated Kup Kollars hold in the cold, longer.
I tried coffee and tea smoothies at Jamba Juice today. I didn’t care for the Matcha Green Tea Blast, blended with soymilk, nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt, plain sorbet, ice and powdered Matcha Green tea. The tea smoothie was full-flavored so if you like the ingredients, I suggest giving it your own taste test.
I enjoyed the Mocha Mojo coffee smoothie very much! It’s blended with organic coffee base, soymilk, nonfat frozen yogurt, chocolate moo’d base, and ice. The strong coffee and chocolate tastes are nicely blended. I asked the server what the word “moo’d” meant. He told me it was a play on words combing “moo” and “mood”. Clever!

- Pink Flowers Kup Kollar on iced tea glass
Colleen joined us for breakfast at The Peak Grill on one of her visits. When the waitperson put the hot syrup container on the table, Colleen pulled her cup wrap from her purse and slipped it onto the container to keep the syrup hot for our pancakes!
Because Colleen’s idea worked so well, I sewed a Kup Kollar for myself to match my large Pancake Kap. Pouring hot syrup onto a hot granola pancake from The Peak Grill makes a great breakfast even better!

Aladdin travel tumbler with Tools Kup
No matter what drink is in your RV cup holder, an insulated Kup Kollar will hold in heat or cold, longer while you’re on the road. Designed with Thinsulate Insulation by 3M, the cup sleeve acts as a winter coat or a mini ice chest. After finishing your drink, store the cup wrap in the RV cup holder so you’ll always know where it is!
Ceramic travel mug with Hawaiian Teal Kup Kollar
Some folks enjoy their favorite hot brew in a ceramic travel mug. Find one with the handles located at the top part of the mug so the Kup Kollar will slip on the bottom part.
Water bottle with African Inspirations Kup Kollar
When you travel to various places in your RV, you’ll find water tastes different from your home water. Buying bottled water gives you a consistent taste. Keep it cold with a Kup Kollar.
Soda can with a Dandy Dogs Kup Kollar
The Kup Kollar wasn’t designed for soft drink cans. Using a rubber band will keep the cup wrap on the can so you can enjoy your cold soda longer!
Hot take-out cup with a Recycle Kup Kollar
When you need a caffeine fix, go through a drive-thru and order hot tea or coffee. Slip on a Kup Kollar so you can have your caffeine hot for at least forty-five minutes.
- 24 ounce cup with Kats in Hats Kup Kollar; 33 ounce cup with Red Western Kup Kollar Grande
Use Kup Kollars on cold take-out cups to absorb condensation on the outside of the cups. Your RV cup holders will stay dry.

- The cup sleeve on the tumbler will hold in the heat longer, while brewing tea.
Using the Trudeau Tea-Riffic travel tumbler and insulated Kup Kollar is a great way for tea drinkers traveling the world in an RV to enjoy their brew.
Slip a washable Kup Kollar onto your double walled San plastic tumbler while waiting for the water to boil. Fill the tea infusion basket with loose tea or tea bags. The basket fits on the inside rim of the tumbler for brewing.
After brewing your tea, remove the infusion basket and put it in a small plastic bowl to cool.
After the infusion basket cools, empty the tea leaves or remove bags, then rinse the basket under the RV sink faucet.
Screw on the lid with slider for drinking, take the 16 ounce tumbler to the front of your RV, place in cup holder, and enjoy freshly brewed tea and the scenery!

You’re at work or running errands when hunger pangs hit. The temperatures are in the high 80s, so you decide to pick up a cold, fresh salad and a large 33-ounce iced drink.
When you set your drink on a surface, a small lake will form from condensation dripping down the cup. To prevent it, slip on a Kup Kollar Grande designed for 33-ounce tapered drink containers. The Thinsulate insulation by 3M inside the cup wrap will keep your hands and surfaces dry!

One afternoon we walked to The Cup & Crumpet in Woodstock, VA for lunch and tea. We ordered a Pot for Two of their house blend loose tea. It was delicious and well brewed with no bitter taste. The tea was served with the proper equipment – tea strainer with holder, cream pitcher, and sugar bowl. The Asian floral Kup Kap was my tea equipment!
We ordered a hot bowl of tasty tomato bisque soup with chunks of tomatoes and onions floating in it. I felt adventurous and ate the sardine quiche. It was a nice blend of flavors and very moist with a flaky crust. Soups and quiche are made from scratch on site with the owners’ grown vegetables or bought organic vegetables.
Our tea was still hot when we ate our desserts because it was served in a teapot covered by a tea cozy. This was a real treat because tea cozies are rarely used in tea shops or restaurants. The desserts change daily and are baked on site. I enjoyed a piece of Hummingbird Cake, a popular southern cake which may have originated from Jamaica. It’s a frosted banana cake filled with pineapple chunks and layered with cream cheese filling. Perry loved the traditional Bread pudding with rum sauce, one of his favorite desserts!
I experienced a second dessert when I walked into the next set of rooms and found a yarn shop called Fibersmyth. There is always room in the suitcase to take home new yarns!

While staying in Woodstock, Perry went to the Woodstock Café & Shoppes for his wake-up coffee each morning. He said it was fresh and tasty! The staff thought his recyclable cup wrap was cool.
One afternoon, we went by the café for coffee and hot tea on our way to explore the George Washington National Forrest. It was a cold, misty day so we needed hot drinks to stay warm.
After entering the park, we turned up a narrow, rocky road that leads to the Woodstock Tower. As we wound our way around the narrow curves, we saw four police cars coming down the mountain very fast. We wondered what might be waiting for us at the top!
When we found the trail leading to the tower, we parked, grabbed our drinks, and began hiking. We wished the trees and rocks could talk to tell their tales of yesteryear.
The elevation at the Woodstock Tower is 2000 feet above sea level. Why did we climb the tower?
We wanted to gaze out over the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!
Over the top of the colorful trees through the mist, we could see the horseshoe bend of the Shenandoah River.
We don’t know why the police cars were in the area. We never saw anything suspicious or a doughnut shop!

Tea drinkers know that holding a paper take-out cup filled with hot tea is very uncomfortable if not impossible. Staff, serving at coffee and tea shops, double cup to protect customers’ hands. Sometimes a cardboard wrap is slipped on the two cups. If you use an insulated recyclable cup sleeve to protect your hands, you add only one paper cup to the planet’s garbage pile instead of two cups and a cardboard wrap.

If your favorite tea or coffee shop allows you to use your own mug, you have no paper cups to add to the garbage pile.
Happy Earth Day – April 22!

Earth Day promotes awareness and appreciation for our planet. It’s a day to ask what you can do to help protect your environment. By using a recyclable cup sleeve, you save trees and don’t add to our huge landfills. Wrapping napkins around take-out cups or using a cardboard wrap doesn’t have the same effect. If you tell your friends about recyclable cup wraps, you help even more to protect our planet.
From Jennifer in Wisconsin: “Thank you! The cup wrap I ordered is a gift for my boyfriend and he will love them. He hates the fact of wasting paper coffee sleeves and how many trees get chopped down to make them so it is the perfect gift!”
If you use coffee cozies, tea cosies, and cup lids to keep your drinks hot, you won’t have to keep reheating your drinks. That means you save electricity.
Put Thinsulate insulated coffee or tea cozies on your pitchers of iced drinks and cup sleeves on your cold glasses. The ice cubes won’t melt as fast. You save water because you won’t have to add ice to keep your drinks cold.
Using an insulated wrap on pints of ice-cream save trees because you won’t wrap paper towels around the carton to protect your fingers from the cold!
