This stainless steel bombillo straw is essential for enjoying herbal infusions! I have been drinking my infusions straight out of the jar using a bombillo for a decade and I wouldn't do it any other way. I brew my infusion loose in a mason jar and when it's ready - I just pop my tea straw in and enjoy. I usually top up the jar with fresh water (room temp or boiled) when there's about 1/3 of the infusion left for a second steep. Then I rinse out the plant matter directly into my compost and rinse the straw and I'm ready to do it all again.
