Another objection to paper straws is that they can leave an unpleasant taste in the user’s mouth. Some people notice a papery or cardboard-like flavour from the straw, while others say there is a chemical taste from the glue used to manufacture it. Either way, the argument goes, a paper straw will spoil the flavour of your milkshake or cocktail, making it an unsatisfactory alternative to a plastic straw.
Paper straws made with low-quality paper and glue may indeed leave a papery or bitter taste. However, paper straws carefully produced using certified paper and glue that is specifically designed for food and drink packaging are free from this problem. Paper straws like Tembo’s are made in this way, ensuring that the straws have a neutral odour and taste.
In addition, manufacturing paper straws in a certified, fully-controlled environment removes any risk of contamination that could affect the taste or safety of the straws.
