Possibly the most eco-friendly filter in the world, Kishu Binchotan Charcoal naturally absorbs chemicals in your water for a purer, fresher, cleaner liquid that will taste perfect. Easy to use, simply place a stick in your water and chill in the fridge to let it work its magic.
Handmade with the purest charcoal available on this planet, from the snippings of the Japanese Holm Oak Tree, and using an ancient technique to control the oxygen flow, the Binchotan has an ultra-porous structure that removes all heavy metals, chlorine and impurities. It contains 98% charcoal and should last for about three months, while each stick should be enough to filter two litres of water. It is recommended that you boil it every two to three weeks to release the absorbed chemicals and freshen it ready for re-use. Even the packaging is environmentally conscious, with fair trade labels, grass paper and vegetable inks for a product that is biodegradable. When you have finished with your filter, simply crush it and bury it in your garden for an excellent compost.
