Reed straws are made from the stems of the Reed Plant. Reed is known as the cousin of Bamboo, with similar durability characteristics. They are sources from small sustainable farms in Southeast Asia.

Reed straws can be used in any hot or cold beverage, but are best suited for smoothies, shakes or thicker iced-drinks.

At this time, we are offering standard size Reed Straws that are appropriately 7.75 inches in length. The diameter varies as it is a natural plant stem between 7-9 millimeters in diameter

Reed straws are harvested annually and are cut to desired length and cleaned using salt water / UV sterilization methods.

Our line of reed straws are similar to bamboo in that they can be reused over and over. To be cleaned, they can be run under warm water and are also dishwasher friendly. When they have seen better days, they can be disposed of either in a compost bin or in the trash. They will decompose naturally over time and will return naturally back to the Earth. (Note: they are not required to be composted like other bioplastic straws.)

Yes, we offer custom branded solutions to engrave your logo or quote into the straw. These are great for weddings, corporate gifts, or any other branding opportunities. We also offer branded pouches for travel purposes.

We offer small packs of 10 straws for home use, boxes of 250 and cases of 1,500 for businesses.

Our reed stem straws originate from small batch farms throughout southeast Asia. Design, distribution, fulfillment and sales are all handled in North America.
