7-inch Bamboo Tea Tongs

I bought these for my children (who were 8 and 10 at the time of my purchase) so they could easily get toast out of the toaster. I usually use full leaf tea, but I use them for the occasional tea bag when I'm out of my regular tea. They are more convenient than a spoon, and more comfortable than using bare fingers. It's been two years, and they're still holding up without stains or splintering. I do admit that I don't use them frequently for tea, so I can't say whether or not they'd stain with regular contact with tea. They're used by children several times a week for toast, and occasional other random functions, and they haven't broken or splintered.

I saw the Bamboo Tea Tongs when I was looking to round up my order and was reminded that I have been meaning to get some Toast Tongs for a long time, so, why not? Who knew I needed Tea Tongs too? But I use them all the time for one and the other. A great little purchase!

Tongs are very handy not only for getting tea bags out of cups but for getting toast out of the slots, getting pickle slices out of the jar,etc. I do wish they were a little longer as I usually use a large travel cup even at home and the tongs are a little short to retrieve the bag at the bottom of the cup

These are great and keep my fingers out of the boiling water!! Also gave them as gifts along with tea cup and your great holiday tea!

When I first received the tea tongs I didn't appereciate them until I had used them for a while. They are very sturdy despite their appearance. Now I love them and use them not only for tea, but for taking toast out of the toaster. I've ordered 3 more for friends.
