GFDesign Yerba Mate Bombilla Gourd Drinking Filter Straws Soft Heatproof Silicone Tips Food-Grade 18/8 Stainless Steel & Silicone - Set of 2 with 2 Cleaning Brushes - 7" Long

Good quality

I guess you get what you pay for but these are pretty low quality

First I'm not a yerba mate drinker, but I do drink all beverages with a straw. I like to drink tea, but it's always a pain to clean the steeper, reusable tea bag, infuser, mug with built-in steeper, etc. I also like to steep fresh ginger when I'm feeling under the weather, but don't like accidentally getting a chunk of ginger down the throat. I searched for a straw with a filter and discovered that they existed. I love love love these straws. They are great for drinking loose leave teas, ginger hot water, berry-infused water, ice water, basically anything with big particulates that you'd like to filter out while drinking. Specifically, I love these straws because they also include a silicone tip to protect your teeth and mouth from the hot metal straw (if used for tea). I've used these basically 20+ times and currently using them every day for fresh ginger tea. Cleaning is straightforward, and the straw is the perfect length for a normal coffee mug. As the cold season starts up here, this straw is going to change my hot beverage drinking life for the better.

A bombilla was gifted to me without a cleaning brush. I ordered more and they came with 2 cleaning brushes. This one is my fav because of the heatproof silicone tip and 8.3” length, and a heavier quality. Others were too short, didn’t have a similar quality to these and too close to the cup for sipping for my comfort. No more French press Yerba Mate and straining. Ever so often a scant bit of tea will come through the tiny holes but it’s not an issue. It cleans well and easily . I’ve gifted these several times! Durable.

I use these for yerba mate which I drink a lot of but I also use them for bulk herb tea. The silicone tip keeps you from burning your mouth. They're extra long so you can use them with a large glass or mug. Get some; you won't be disappointed.

I bought this product to give as a Christmas gift to someone, and they really like it! It is a metal reusable straw that it is great when drinking tea leaf.
