DESCRIPTION
This is the ideal way to bring filtered water on the go; the gym, the car, your bicycle, etc! Ideally placed in any 12-16 ounce water bottle, it begins working immediately bonding with toxins in tap water.
Kishu Charcoal is 97% pure activated carbon. It is extremely effective in bonding with toxins which may be found in tap water, including: lead, mercury, copper, cadmium (to name just a few).
Kishu Charcoal is made by Japanese artisans in an ancient process involving heating branches of a special oak tree in outdoor kilns over a week's time. This painstaking process shrinks and hardens the branches into activated charcoal - now able to readily adsorb toxins.
Pairs well with: Glass Straw
INSTRUCTIONS: We recommend adding tap water in the evening for use the next day. Optimal filtration time 1-2 hours. Enjoy the taste of natural spring water with kishu charcoal. To renew, simply boil gently in a shallow pan of water for 5 minutes, allow to dry out for 20 minutes before reusing. One stick lasts 4 months.
MATERIALS: Carbon neutral and ethically sourced oak branches fired in handmade outdoor ovens.
BRAND: Kischu Charcoal, a woman-owned company based in Denver that works directly with Japanese artisans.
END OF LIFE: Activated charcoal is 100% compostable. If composting at home be sure to add in moderation.
