I use Panda Board straws for art and art education. After extensive web research, I have found that these are the sturdiest and best value natural fiber straws on the market. And, the customer service is out of this world!
I bought these straws to attract native bees to nest in them. The diameter is too big for Mason bees, but suitable for some other species. I like that they are made of natural Bamboo and are 9" long.
Large Boba/Smoothie Straws
These straws are exactly what I was looking for! I own a restaurant and I sell a lot of smoothies. - Ive had a hard time finding straws that were durable & environmentally friendly! Thank you!
I found these to be very good quality, but be careful, if it breaks or splits, it can cut your tongue, as it did mine. It can be very sharp if it splits.
These are the perfect alternative to plastic straws-they hold up to smoothies, milkshakes, and the occasional frozen cocktail! The 12mm diameter is perfect if you like bits of fruit or chocolate/espresso chips-they do not get stuck
They have a good mouth feel, don't disintegrate in hot drinks, and are sturdy for traveling. However, they can break if you put them at the bottom of your bag and leave them there for weeks. Overall excellent!
I was looking for straws for hot beverages, and wanted to avoid plastic. Purchased a box of these in the 6mm size, and I couldn't be happier. Individually paper-wrapped with wax paper, so that every straw is dry and fresh when you unwrap them. They do have a slight paper smell to them, but they impart no flavor to your beverage, and the smell isn't unpleasant. Most importantly, these straws do not melt in your drink, nor collapse in your mouth. I mostly use them for coffee, and I've never had one decompose on me. They are very sturdy, and would work well for thicker drinks like smoothies or shakes. I've almost finished the box, and so far none of them had any defects. I've had other bamboo straws that collapse when you put them in hot drinks, but not these ones. They are strong enough to use as stir sticks, unlike other paper straws I've tried that sometimes bend and crease. I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but I have been very impressed with this product. I intend to buy more when I run out.
The straw is good but it has an unpleasant taste and texture
Good compostable straws
These are great ! I got them for my Daily Harvest smoothies and my homemade boba teas. They hold up but you can tell they are environmentally friendly because theyll eventually soften. And they are big enough that they dont get clogged. Super happy. Would buy again.
I am so happy I found these bamboo boba straws. I wanted something more eco friendly and absolutely despise paper straws. Since quarantine started I have been making a lot of boba at home for the family and these are just perfect for everyone to use. It tolerated hot and cold drinks without any issues. There is a very light scent to these though that I dont really mind or notice but more fragrance sensitive people might have an issue (like my mom). Other than that these are great.
Giant pack of bamboo straws that can be used with boba! Only issue is that there's a bit of a cardboard taste when I drink something
Perfect big straws. They have a cool bamboo texture and feel solid. Toddler did not chew it off or shut it closed like paper straws. No smell or taste of any kind. Posted photo of straw after 1 use and 1 wash. It survived well enough for another use. It looks like its meant for boba, and Id be really impressed if a boba shop served with these. For us, mission accomplished in not having to grind up his smoothies too much to make them fit through little straws or squished paper straws! Individually wrapped for carrying and storing. :)
