Binchotan possess powerful water purification properties that draw impurities out of tap water while releasing beneficial minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.

I think it would help adding a bit extra paper as cushioning, so they wouldn’t brake while in transportation. It would help if you also boiled your charcoal stick at least once a month to help keep its pores open.Those 2 active charcoal sticks, from Oak tree, allow you to erase unpleasant taste and bad smells from tap water. KURO-Bō offers a conscious consumer choice: an opportunity to invest in our health and the earth instead of passively piling on tonne after tonne of plastic and carbon emissions to the escalating eco-epidemic. Not only does Binchotan charcoal remove impurities from water, it can also release minerals back into your bottle, improving health and taste. Furthermore, 100% of KURO-Bō’s product and packaging is sustainable, biodegradable/compostable and recyclable.

As charcoal-making techniques evolved in the medieval period and Chado (The Way of Tea) became ever more central to Japanese life and culture, a finer variety of charcoal was developed. Today, many people globally accept a charcoal water filter or charcoal sticks as one of the best methods of removing toxins and harmful metals from ordinary tap water. It may seem counter intuitive to purify your drinking water with a stick of charcoal, but the Japanese have been doing it for centuries - and it makes your tap water taste great. To rejuvenate the effectiveness of the charcoal, every month boil your KURO-Bō Stick for 10 minutes, allow to cool, and pop straight back into your water container. So when I read about Binchōtan as a way to purify water, I thought it might be the perfect solution.I don't know about you, but I'm really not interested in throwing even more garbage into our landfills. Our binchotan charcoal can be used immediately - simply remove it from its packaging and place it in any bottle or jug. These contaminants are then held in the surface of the carbon until you boil the charcoal (which then releases all the contaminants). It is also known as active carbon as the ions of contaminants are attracted to the surface of the carbon, where they will be held. Each pair of sticks can purify up to a gallon of water for at least three months - no plastic involved.

The charcoal is burned at extremely high temperatures (around 2,400 °F) and then it is rapidly cooled. After using charcoal as a water filter for 2 months you can reuse it in the home for a further 6 to 12 months. This bamboo charcoal is carefully made in Japan in clay kilns by experienced charcoal makers and is simply of the highest quality of its kind. Each charcoal will last for 6 months as a water filter, simply recharge after the first 3 months use. Active charcoal actually has many medical uses such as being used to treat flatulence, high cholesterol and upset stomachs.The Goop product description assures us that Binchotan Charcoal removes chemicals, softens, and improves the taste of water (and if you're into a bit more woo-woo, it can even be added to a hot bath to "improve circulation and detoxify"). If you want to use your Binchotan charcoal water filter, you CANNOT add anything else to the carafe or bottle. Simply drop the charcoal into your water, we recommend one stick per litre, then leave for 1 hour (8 is best) and enjoy your filtered water. There’s many things you can do with Binchotan charcoal after you’ve finished using it: it removes bad smells if added to cat litter trays or nappy bins, it removes moisture from the air if you add it to your wardrobe or drawers, and it adds nutrients to the soil if you pop it in with your houseplants (break it up first).
