GlassDharma manufactures the Original Glass Straw. David Leonhardt, owner and founder, has focused his hard work and determination into creating quality products that have an impact on health and environmental issues. While caring for his customers with the highest level of integrity. His vision to create his own line of glass drinking straws stemmed from his 10 years of experience as a Lampworker. In addition to becoming a part of the “green” movement with his product and his packaging, David also loves the elegance of glass. GlassDharma is the result of a life long pursuit to follow “dharma” – that which upholds and supports the proper conduct of living. People looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint can now rely on GlassDharma to replace the use of their ordinary plastic straws with the beauty of glass. When people first hear about glass straws, they are usually intrigued but also concerned about breakage. David has come into the role of educating people on the durability of quality made glass, helping them overcome any "breakage fear" by offering an unprecedented lifetime guarantee – if it breaks, it will be repaired or replaced. In addition to the breakage guarantee, GlassDharma offers a complete satisfaction guarantee. GlassDharma, known for extremely efficient customer service, responds quickly to questions, shipping times and in honoring guarantees. David uses the highest standards available, provided by Corning, Inc. (the makers of Pyrex©) to anneal*, under computer controlled conditions, all glassware created by GlassDharma (*a special heating process that reduces stress in the glass). 100% inspection for Quality Control is implemented at each stage of manufacturing and packaging. Based on worldwide press reports and the blogging communities' promotion of The GlassDharma philosophy is about the best life has to offer; healthy living in a healthy world with “A Touch of Glass.”
