The Takesumi Bamboo Charcoal is an ecological and immensely economical solution for highly purifying water.
It is very porous and has the particularity of adsorbing and retaining 3 times more pollutants from the air and water than a classic activated carbon. Its adsorption surface area is 3000m2/gram. It is also an excellent odour and moisture absorber. It is naturally charged with negative ions and attracts toxic particles to itself. It mineralises water thanks to its content of silicic acid, calcium and potassium.
Zero Plastic, Zero Waste, Less Chlorine, Less pollutants, More minerals
Takesumi still produced in a clay oven, according to ancestral know-how, the tiger bamboo wood is burnt for 3 days at 800° to 1000°.
The takesumi stick can be used for 6 months (2 times 3 months).
You can recycle it as a plant fertilizer or natural deodorant in cupboards, fridge or shoes...
The takesumi is very light and floats for the first few days of use. After a few days, it will go down and no longer float. The floating does not alter its properties in any way.
100% PURE & NATURAL
The bamboo charcoal stick is the ideal ally for filtering and mineralising running water. In Japan, it has been used for centuries to reduce the concentration of chemicals and toxins in water. It improves taste and odour, reduces chlorine and micro-pollutants (pesticides).

How effective are these pieces of charcoal? Is bamboo as good as oak? Is the cost justified? And compared to cartridge filter jugs?
I had all these questions in mind, and I think I can answer.
A short description to start with: 15 bamboo charcoals sticks, in the form of sticks about 1 cm wide by 17 cm high. They are supplied in a cardboard box, and protected in a plastic wrapping (funny idea I just say), probably because the charcoal is quite fragile and breakable.
It is bamboo, not oak. In my opinion it is an excellent choice, because oak changes NOTHING to the efficiency of activated carbon, it grows much more slowly and requires much more resources than bamboo which is extremely fast growing.
We try charcoal because tap water does not taste very good, so we don't need to buy a lot of water bottles. Takesumi LTD sales great products !
Purchase in addition to the ceramic beads for water treatment, pure difference! Water is good! Avoid plastic water bottles to excess. It's good for the environment and for your wallet. Takesumi LTD donate to plant trees. I love it!
I live in an area where the water, rather calcareous, has a particular taste, and when I put the coal in my decanter, I totally feel the difference between fresh tap water and water in the decanter.
Don't be surprised, the charcoal will float in the bottle for two or three days before sinking to the bottom.
