Glass is the reusable straw that does not taint the drink. Metal goes cold and tastes of itself, silicone goes soft, paper collapses by the second mouthful. Glass stays neutral, and because it is clear you can see whether it is clean, which is the part everyone quietly worries about.
The shapes are the fun of it. Straight cocktail straws for a spritz, wider smoothie straws that will take a thick drink, and the curly and wavy ones that turn an ordinary glass of something into an occasion. They come with a cleaning brush, and they go in the dishwasher.
Glassware to go with them sits in Drinkware.

Are glass straws safe?
They are made from borosilicate glass, the same type used in ovenware, so they handle temperature change and knocks far better than ordinary glass. Chipped straws should be retired rather than used.
How do you clean them?
They come with a slim cleaning brush and they are dishwasher safe. Being clear, you can see the inside is clean, which is the advantage over metal.
Which shape should I choose?
Cocktail for spirits and spritzes, smoothie for anything thick, and the curly or wavy ones when the drink is meant to be part of the occasion.
