These handmade bamboo drinking cups are an alternative, ideal for smoothies and designed to last a lifetime. Hand wash only, and do not soak. Good for large morning smoothies, handcrafted by skilled artisans in Vietnam. The intense sun and high rainfall means this bamboo grows without added water.
Don’t fill hot liquids to top to avoid scalding, and avoid wide-mouth bottles with hot drinks for children.
Bottled water sold in shops is not tested nearly the same as tap water, and massively overpriced. You’re paying for plastic, shipping of water (often from overseas) and marketing. Once discarded, plastic bottles break down into microplastics, which drop down storm drains and go into the sea, where they are accidentally ingested by marine creatures.
