I’d wondered about the bugs. I guess that’s one thing the heating of the tubes is hoping to rid of. Then I have dead bugs in my tea.
Bamboo itself is pretty beautiful. There’s some growing around here wild in some spots, even. I’ve never seen it quite so thick as what I’ve seen growing wild in S.E. Asia, however; guessing it never gets hot enough?
Bamboo tea tools are on my wish-list, though I’m not certain they’re particularly nessecary for anything – they just look nice. Bamboo is getting a new “trendy” face here in the U.S. lately, as apparently it grows fast enough to make it “sustainable” for kitchen items. Too bad the stuff’s pretty heavily processed.
