Stainless Steel Precision Straw (3.2 mm) & Cleaning Brush

i've always said part of all proceeds goes to charity, one sip at a time so ...

all proceeds from every straw

(~$5 nzd) goes to charity!

if you've had milk tea in china, you might be familiar with the flat 3-hole sanpin straw.

the narrow bores slow the volume of drink to gives you a smaller, more concentrated sip, so you taste the drink better. however ... every single one of these is made of plastic which can't be cleaned and reused. lame!

so for the past few months, i've been testing an alternative to see how closely i could replicate the effects of the sanpin straw but using something that was reuseable & easily cleaned. how narrow i could go?

after a few calculations & prototypes, i found that a straw with an inner diameter of 3.2 mm is the smallest bore that would produce similar increased perceived flavour and taste while still being wide enough for you to properly scrub the inside with a microbrush that is included in the set

• 1 x 304 stainless steel precision straw — 170 mm length, 3.2 mm inner diameter bore, 0.5 mm wall
• 1 x cleaning brush
• 1 x cotton bag

if you are following the nerdiness, then i'm sure you'll be able to deduce that this works for all drinks (without any bits and pieces in them obviously)

• best for cold drinks. stainless steel carries heat much better than plastic, so it's pretty good for any cold drinks. don't drink something too hot with it
• this is not a boba straw
• can also be used as a “singing straw” like those marketed as such & sell for 3x more

cleaning instructions: run the brush through the straw (through both ends) under a warm water. also dishwasher safe but best to use the brush

i'm pretty proud of this one & the positive impact it can create 🍵
