Description
A straw is the smallest object in a kitchen and the one most people replace without thinking. Paper collapses in ten minutes, stainless steel changes the taste of anything acidic, and plastic is the version nobody wants in a hot drink. Glass has none of those problems, which is why it has quietly replaced all three in cafés, and why a four piece set is a better answer than a single straw kept in a drawer. The Jade Sip is a bent glass straw at 150 millimetres, sized for the cups people actually drink from.
The 8 millimetre bore is the detail that decides whether a glass straw is pleasant or frustrating. Narrower than that and a smoothie will not move; wider and it becomes a mouthful rather than a sip. At 8 millimetres the straw handles iced coffee, juice, smoothies, bubble tea in a smaller cup and anything carbonated, and the borosilicate-style glass is formulated to take both temperature swings and normal domestic handling. The bend at the top is what makes it work while sitting down, because a straight straw in a tall glass requires leaning forward, and no one keeps that habit for long.
The set arrives as four straws in one colour family with a dedicated cleaning brush, which is the accessory that makes or breaks glass. Rinse under the tap after use, brush through the bore when something thicker has been in the glass, and let them air dry. They are dishwasher safe as well, so the maintenance question is answered either way. Four straws in one set means a household does not have to share between drinks or wash between rounds, which is the practical reason sets are bought rather than singles.
Four straws, one brush, and no paper mushroom left in the glass.

Application Scenarios
The Jade Sip is bought for three rooms. In the kitchen it ends the paper straw habit, since four straws cover a family at breakfast without anyone waiting. In a home bar or coffee setup it handles iced drinks, cold brew and cocktails, and the glass does not carry flavour from a citrus drink into the next pour the way a metal straw does. On a desk or in a home office it turns a water glass into something sipped rather than gulped, which mostly means the glass gets emptied more often. For cafés, juice bars and smoothie counters moving away from single use plastic, the 8 mm bore is the specification that handles a blended drink as well as a thin one, and the four colourway codes let a venue standardise on one look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size cups do these fit?
The straws are 150 mm long and work best in glasses shorter than 9 cm to the point where the straw enters, which covers most tumblers, juice glasses and short cocktail glasses. In a very tall glass the bent portion will sit further down, so check the height against the picture.
Q: Are they safe with hot drinks?
Yes. The glass is heat resistant and does not transfer taste, which is exactly why glass handles hot coffee better than stainless steel. As with any glass, avoid a sudden transfer from freezer to boiling water.
Q: Will the 8 mm bore handle a smoothie?
That is the diameter it was chosen for. Thick blends move through an 8 mm bore without the plugging that narrower decorative straws suffer from.
Q: How do I clean them?
Rinse after use and brush the bore when a thicker drink has been in the glass. All four straws are also dishwasher safe, so a normal wash cycle is enough on a busy day.
Q: Are these glass or acrylic?
They are glass, supplied with a cleaning brush, and they have the visible clarity and weight of glass rather than the light flexibility of acrylic.
Q: How many straws do I get?
Four straws in the colourway selected, plus one cleaning brush, supplied as a single set.
