Here is some additional information about your product.
1. Bamboo Charcoal is fragile. Please handle it with care. Carbon is a unique element in that it can be super hard (diamonds), or very soft (graphite - like what is used in pencil lead). Bamboo Charcoal is carbon with a hardness closer to graphite, so be careful.
2. When you open the box you may find a few stalks are broken. This is normal, your box made a long trip from Asia to the USA, and then on to you!
3. Here's what you can do with the broken stalks:
Drinking Water Filtration – boil several stalks for 10 minutes, and then only use those stalks for water purification. Place the stalks in a pitcher of tap water to remove chlorine, chlorides and other chemicals and impurities as well as add beneficial minerals from the bamboo charcoal to the water. Crystal clear water that tastes great!
Here's how to decorate with and use your Bamboo Charcoal:
Use Bamboo Charcoal to prepare perfect drinking water.
Wash the bamboo charcoal stalks and pieces in running water until any black powder has been removed. Do not use soap or cleaners.
Boil the bamboo charcoal for ten minutes to sterilize, then allow to dry completely.
Place 1-2 stalks or several pieces of bamboo charcoal in a pitcher and fill with tap water. Wait 8 hours then use this filtered and mineralized bamboo charcoal water for drinking and in your coffee maker and tea kettle. The bamboo charcoal will filter numerous impurities in the water and add beneficial minerals including calcium, potassium and magnesium.
Replace the bamboo charcoal every month. You can crush the used bamboo charcoal and sprinkle into potted plant or garden soil to improve the quality of the soil. This is a wonderful way to create a truly circular, no waste lifecycle for your charcoal! ENJOY.
