Maybe you already knew about it; but I sure didn't. (pic at link)
http://www.sbsteas.com/Health-Tea-Wand-Set-pr-1486.html"The Health Tea Wand™ is a hand crafted, glass straw that brews and filters tea leaves, herbs, and infusions through its specially designed strainer holes in the convenience of your own cup. Simply add hot water to your tea, steep, build flavor and sip to the very last drop through your Health Tea Wand™. Your portable wand is packaged in a carry case that contains a secret compartment to transport your favorite SBS Teas tea!
What makes it so healthy?
Your wand acts as a natural extractor, to deliver more of the health benefits of your herbal preparation. The herbs continue to steep while you drink and the sucking action causes more of the nutrients to be absorbed directly through the lining in the mouth and assimilate immediately into your bloodstream.
This is a PERFECT way to drink tea on the go or in your favorite restaurant! You just add your tea to the cup you are provided insert your wand and away you go! No muss no fuss. You don't have to carry your tea infuser or tea pot with you! "
Pretty neat; since I love hot tea and don't drink coffee at all. Much more convienent that having to carry lots of tea bags around; for me at least.
