🌿 Authentic Binchotan Charcoal Sticks from Kishu, Japan - Purify 4L of Water with 4 Personal Sticks Review

Changes the taste of water and likes it that way. To make water alkaline, I add 1/8 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda per gallon of water.

The water I use at work tastes musty and old, so I was looking for an environmentally friendly way to solve this problem. I was skeptical when I ordered them, but they serve their purpose perfectly. They say you need to let it work for an hour or two, but even 10 minutes is a definite improvement.

This is a little known product so I was delighted when I found it and pleased that I received it so quickly. I liked the packaging, very neat, minimal and NO plastic, thanks for the environmental awareness that is evident in the choice of packaging. Everyone should buy it just because of that! reduce, reuse, reuse and just say NO to plastic packaging!

We use 2 of these in a glass jar and the other 2 in our old Brita! We believe 2 pitchers is a MUST when using charcoal sticks as you have to wait at least 1 hour for it to filter. We wanted to ditch the Brita plastic filters and they work great. If you're looking for a plastic-free option, give it a try!

I read 1/4 lb and thought they were the larger sticks I use in large jars. They turn out to be tiny chopsticks, smaller than anything I've bought from any other seller. I think it would be better if the seller list the length and width of the charcoal sticks like other sellers for comparison.

I love these sticks! They make your water taste delicious, but they've gotten so expensive that I find it hard to justify their cost. I chose stainless steel tea balls and filled them with activated carbon, which I also use in my aquariums. This method is MUCH cheaper and just as tasty, if not more so. Now I'm just buying them for a bottle that's too small for a tea infuser and am working on a solution for that too. But these are great sticks and the perfect size for sports bottles.
