Plain and simple, here’s how and why they work:

- Using your glass drinking straw adds a feeling of beauty to your day.
KAVA glass drinking straws are:
- Made of Borosilicate glass. A type of glass with the main ingredients of silica and boron oxide. Borosilicate glass is well known for having very low thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass. Borosilicate glass was first developed by Otto Schott in the late 19th century. Borosilicate glass is often used for high-quality beverage glassware (a popular brand name is Pyrex). Borosilicate glass has increased durability along with microwave/dishwasher compatibility." borosilicate tubing and is the strongest glass commercially available.
-
Annealed. Annealing is a heat treatment process wherein a material such as glass is altered, causing changes in its properties such as strength and hardness. It is a process that produces conditions by heating and maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling at specific rates. Annealing is used to relieve internal stresses, refine the structure and improve cold working properties." Annealed to Corning, Inc. specifications (a process that strengthens the glass).
So you can have confidence you are purchasing the highest quality glass straws available.

Toxin Free. There’s nothing nasty inside this glass. Unlike plastic, glass isn’t a porous material so it won’t leach into your mouth or drinks ever!
So you can use your non-toxic straws with confidence.
- Functional Art. A glass straw is beautiful art that doubles as your favorite beverage jewelry. Unlike the Mona Lisa, this is a piece of art that you will want to show off AND use all the time.

- Save The Planet. Let's take responsibility and stop using single-use plastics. The earth will thank you.

What is a Double Walled Glass Mug?
For the uninitiated, double-walled glass mugs are clear-looking and glass. What you might not expect is that they’re significantly thicker than a simple glass mug. The big problem I have with both glass mugs, and normal ceramic ones, is that they get hot (when holding coffee). Sometimes (too often) uncomfortable to hold because the hot moves so seamlessly from the outside to the handle area.
Double glass walls (almost always with air in between) fixes that problem. Super well. Double wall glasses look great, feel great, and never sweat (when holding cold beverages) nor make your hand uncomfortably hot.
There is a big thing to know about double-walled glasses: their thickness is both more and less. The actual glass layer compared to a conventional glass mug or pint glass, is actually much thinner. The overall wall is almost always thicker, but each of the two walls of glass is actually narrower. That does make them likely to be bit more fragile in a drop test or under a compressive force.
The Major Benefits of a Double Wall Glass Coffee Mug
They’re often significantly lighter than their ceramic counterparts. For normal mugs in our kitchen, all are about the same volume and quality of construction: the ceramic one was 370 grams, the (thick, single-walled) glass one was 320g. The double walled glass one was 200 grams. That’s just over half the weight. You notice that if you’re holding your cup a lot.
While you hold a lighter coffee cup, you get great thermal isolation.We’ve never compared double-walled glass to the increasingly ubiquitous-in-America Yeti cup. But both of them are much better insulators than we’re use to, and will keep your hots hot and your colds cold better than most mugs.
Double-walled glass cups are clear. This is kind of “duh” for most, but because it’s glass (not ceramic), we always know exactly how much coffee we left in the mug we left across the room.
Double-walled mugs are beautiful. This is the most subjective, but also the one we feel most strongly: clear, double-walled glasses (on average) look better than comparable single-walled glass or ceramic vessels.
They’re often comfortably handle-less.This relates to the above points: because of the thermal qualities of it, a handle-less double-walled glass mug is both possible and common. And no, unlike that old mug you didn’t throw away after you lost its handle, you won’t feel your hand getting uncomfortably hot from the hot beverage inside.
What Qualities to Look for in Double-Wall Glass Mugs
A pleasing shape
No weird collecting points for water/etc to intrude into the air-gap.

When you’re presenting someone with a diamond, you’d better make sure it doesn’t come out of a cereal box. Diamond Glasses are tastefully housed in a high-quality paperboard box that opens and closes with magnetic clasps.
Inside the box, the glasses are tucked into a soft, velour-like tray to complete the gift set.
