I suggest you go to www.wisdomwands.com they have a glass straw that is
perfect for mate as well as other teas. It is much better for you
than the metal straws. The glass straw is heat resistant and will not
burn your lips like the metal straw. I use it for other teas as well
and it is a very convenient way to brew tea in a cup.

Enjoy your mate!
