About Hand-made Bulbous Spoon-filter Curved Alpaca
PERFECT TASTE IN THE AIR OF REGALITY AND LUXURY You may be a person serious about herbal infusions, a beginner or a seasoned mate drinker, but it is best to enjoy your drink with a spoon-filter straw or bombilla, as the Argentinians say. VERSATILE The bombilla-straw is an ancient South-American tool, used to sip the yerba-mate from calabash-gourds. However, it could be easily used with other tea-cups to enjoy loose teas and herbal blends. Furthermore, a bombilla is a perfect substitution for a tea-strainer. When herbs are left to float unrestricted in hot water they release more of the important nutrients and antioxidants. PRACTICAL The fine filter of the straw with more than 50 pine-sized holes pulls out only the liquid and leaves the dregs and dust behind, thereby maximizing the benefits of the herb. Furthermore, the spoon-end allows to easily scoop the dregs out of the cup when you are done drinking. The unique design of the filter guarantees years of faultless operation. At the same time when occasional clogging happens, blow the bombilla once or twice to release the air-bubble. The spout-end of the bombilla is 18K gold plated, which adds aesthetics to the elegant curve of the straw. There is also an important function in these glamorous elements: gold does not transmit heat very well and therefore protects the lips from the heat of the bombilla; the mindful curved shape allows you to stay engaged in the ritual and look forward while drinking. DURABLE The straw is made of nickel silver or alpaca alloy, which has an impressive silvery shine, easily restored after use with a quick but tender dry rag. Consider not trying too hard or using abrasive sponges, too much effort may damage the plating and leave scratches on the surface.
