The bamboo whisk is really well finished and high quality, the only thing that bothers me extremely to him, is that the thread with which the bristles are fixed is made of nylon, not cotton, or the like. I think especially in the preparation of food, especially hot liquids like tea, plastic has lost absolutely nothing because it is nunmal toxic and toxins be solved by the heat and end up in tea. In addition, the nylon thread is unlike cotton or other natural fibers broken much faster and becomes brittle when it is constantly exposed to hot liquids and hot fumes. In a natural broom should really use natural yarn.
