SweetLeaf Bombilla Strainer Straw for Loose Tea

The Bombilla StrainerStraw is the traditional method of drinking YerbaMate and other healthy herbal beverages in Paraguay, Argentina and other parts of South America.

Put the appropriate amount of loose herbs into a mug or a traditional gourd and then fill with water. After steeping, place your Bombilla StrainerStraw directly into the herbs until the tip hits the bottom of the mug. Sip your tea directly through the straw.

After consuming your first round of tea, you can refill your mug with water using the same herbs again. In Paraguay the Guarani Indians refill their gourds with water many times, maximizing the healing benefits of their herbs thanks to the Bombilla StrainerStraw.
