WHITE CHARCOAL (BINCHOTAN)

Binchotan charcoal, also known as white charcoal, is a type of activated charcoal traditionally used in Japan. It is made by burning types of hardwood at a very high temperature with limited oxygen. The process of making binchotan charcoal can take several weeks.

Binchotan charcoal is prized for its ability to purify water and air due to its high carbon content and porous structure, which allows it to absorb impurities and odors. It is also used for cooking and grilling, as it burns at a high temperature and produces very little smoke or ash.

Binchotan charcoal is considered a premium product due to its high quality and long burning time. It is often used in high-end restaurants and for tea ceremonies in Japan. It is also becoming increasingly popular in other parts of the world as a natural and sustainable alternative to traditional charcoal.
