I recently bought a set of borosilicate straws from Northern California-based Glass Dharma and they've quickly become a household favorite. The straws are available in three different lengths and in a straight or bent configuration; prices start at $6.50 for the 6.25-inch Shorty straw ($28 for a set of four). Call Heath Ceramics to order or visit one of their California locations.
