Adding bamboo charcoal to tap water removes impurities and improves taste. It is a sustainable solution for consumers who want to avoid plastic bottles, cartridges, and filters, but want better tasting tap water. Add bamboo charcoal to a carafe or decanter at home, or a couple of pieces in a reusable bottle on the go. Bamboo charcoal pieces change water taste within minutes and can be used for weeks before depositing them in compost or garden.

This quality bamboo charcoal is sourced from craftsmen in the Japanese countryside. Bamboo is carbonized at high heat (800 degrees Celsius), creating a large, porous surface area. Tests show that these pores absorb ammonia, lead, mercury, cadmium, and copper from water - including chloramine, chlorine and chlorides, which can make tap water taste bad.

All bamboo is cut by hand. This is a zero waste product and uses bamboo that has been culled from forests to maintain ecosystem health.

Rinse, boil for five minutes, allow to dry – preferably in the sun (one time only). Fill pitcher with water and drop the charcoal filter (3 pieces of charcoal per liter of water). Let stand for an hour before drinking. 

Lasts up to 4 weeks.
