Simple yet effective
Bin Cho Tan was first produced in Feudal Japan during the Edo period. It was used as extremely high quality charcoal that would allow furnaces to get hotter and burn more cleanly than ever before. Hundreds of years later, we discovered its unique molecular structure purifies water better than any other natural or man made substance yet discovered, and we continue to use the traditional method for all production.
Types
Make sure you know what's in your Bin Cho Tan before you buy it. Not all Bin Cho Tan are created equal.
There are three types currently being produced:
There are three types currently being produced:
Oak
Oak is a slow growing tree species that grows all over the world, and has always been popular for making Bin Cho Tan. The wood is semi-hard, and the trees take a very long time to grow back.
|
White Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus makes the highest quality Bin Cho Tan. It is up to twice as hard as Oak, and what's more, it grows twice as quickly, allowing for sustainable ecofriendly harvesting.
|
Compressed Sawdust
Sawdust is compressed by hydraulic press to crush it into sticks. It is then processed, and eventually comes out as low grade Bin Cho Tan, which we wouldn't recommend for water.
