BTP Cork Bartape - Tea Leaf Ground (Sparkle) | A one-of-a-kind cork bar tape made from tea leaves

Giving used tea leaves a new purpose. A bar tape that lets you enjoy the natural texture of the material itself.

Tea leaves are generated in our daily lives. The BTP Cork Bartape - Tea Leaf Ground gives these used tea leaves a new lease of life, transforming them into a new valuable product.

The unique texture created by mixing used tea leaves into natural cork offers a natural look that cannot be replicated by printing or dyeing. Each piece is unique, allowing you to enjoy the inherent texture of the material.

Its somewhat subdued appearance resonates with Japan's "mottainai spirit." Rather than elaborate decorations, this bar tape captivates with the individuality of its materials, harmonizing beautifully with classic and neo-classic bike customs.

Furthermore, it features high-density EVA foam on the back. Beyond aesthetics, it provides cushioning that makes it comfortable for everything from daily commutes to long rides.

  • Natural cork material made from recycled tea leaves
  • Unique texture of natural materials, with each piece being different
  • Distinctive texture and appearance that cannot be replicated by printing
  • A unique bar tape born from a sustainable concept
  • Comfortable cushioning from high-density EVA foam
