For the 30 and 40 oz crowd

Twelve inches of thick borosilicate glass that reaches the bottom of a 40 oz tumbler and still clears the lid. No plastic taste in your water, and it goes in the dishwasher.

  • 12.2 in long
  • 10 mm wide
  • 16 straws in 2 sets
  • 2 cleaning brushes
  • Golden Hour
  • Low Tide

One 40 oz tumbler took its maker from $73 million to $750 million a year in sales (CNBC, 2023). The straw deserves an upgrade too.
