Just the FAQs
Binchotan charcoal gained popularity during Japan’s Edo Period (17th century) thanks to a man named Binchuya Chozaemon. However, its true origins remain somewhat unclear.
A form of Binchotan, also known as 'white charcoal,' is believed to have been brought to Japan around 1,200 years ago by the monk and scholar Kukai.
The traditional method of making Binchotan charcoal is both fascinating and intense. The wood is heated to extremely high temperatures in a kiln, then quickly cooled by covering it with a mixture of soil, sand, and ash.
This process creates the charcoal’s distinctive hard, smooth texture, and when tapped, it produces a clear, metallic sound.
Binchotan charcoal not only removes impurities from water but also releases beneficial minerals, enhancing both taste and health. Its surface is filled with microscopic pores that attract and trap contaminants like chlorine, ensuring cleaner water.
With a surface area of 500m² per gram, Binchotan charcoal offers highly efficient filtration.
Not at all! One of the great benefits of Binchotan charcoal is its many secondary uses.
It can absorb moisture in wardrobes, helping to prevent mold, and it works as a natural deodorizer in places like cat litter boxes or diaper bins. You can even break it up and add it to houseplant soil to enrich it with nutrients.
No, swallowing charcoal isn’t harmful. In fact, activated charcoal has several medical uses, such as treating flatulence, high cholesterol, and upset stomachs.
Keep your charcoal in a cool place and avoid exposing your bottle or jug to direct sunlight. For best results, consume the filtered water within 24 hours.
Our charcoal is intended for use with tap water that has been deemed safe to drink by local authorities. However, you can also use it with other water sources like bottled or distilled water to enhance the taste.
Keep in mind, it's primarily designed for tap water and may not offer significant additional benefits if the water is already purified or treated.
