Blackham Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Had a chance to try them at a friend's house, fell in love instantly and had to get a set of my own. Found a reputable seller on Taobao (Chinese Ebay), the cups go for $3-4 CAD a piece depending on size, I'm told that shipping is expensive if shipping directly to North America, fortunately I have a friend in the importing business so I just combined my order with her. From my experience, the cups work well with a variety of drinks: -Light beer ex. lagers -Sake -Light tea It adds a subtle sweetness in your choice of drink (think dew drops), feels like a calm morning in the garden after a night of rain. Last night I decided to experiment a few new drinks with the cups: Granville Island winter ale and Macallan Whisky Master Edition Positive result on the winter ale, less noticeable than lagers but the difference is still there, tastes fresher and sweeter than drinking from a beer glass. Next time I shall get a bigger sized cup so it could hold the entire can of beer. Not too lucky with the scotch though, first of all no real difference compared to drinking from my Glencairn glass, also the scotch burns off some of the pulp from the bamboo. Highly recommend these cups if you're into beer and sake. Remember to store them in cool and dry places for a longer lifespan on the bamboo (freezer works well). Enjoy!

stargazer14 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I have been making things from bamboo lately (cigar tubes, 20' antenna for the boat, iPhone holder, etc.) but now I guess I will have to make few cups also!
canadianbeaver Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Leave it to you Garfield to find the most interesting, unique vessels for your beer or sake. And from around the globe too. You are truly a gentleman's gentleman.

ptrthgr8 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Bamboo cups sound really interesting. Is there really no solid source for these outside of Chinese eBay? Cheers, Greg Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX HD

finecigar Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Awesome! I am going to look for these! I've also seen a lot of bamboo products recently. Have an iPad case, boxes, tabletop, and hopefully someday soon a bamboo humidor desktop, really like the look of those
ptrthgr8 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 How many do you need?.... (Made in the USA) I suppose I'd want two sets of four. One larger set for beer and one smaller set for scotch or other spirits. If that's something you could craft shoot me a PM and we can work out the details.
