IPPINKA Binchotan Charcoal from Kishu, Japan - Water Purifying Charcoal for Great-Tasting Water, Half Pound Value Pack

The item was as listed and arrived very quickly (a day earlier than expected) which was refreshing in a delayed-shipping Covid world.The kishu sticks were as good quality as the ones I payed for at my local health store for $17/stick, so this is definitely a good value. The sticks are all various sizes, as listed, but for the price I was expecting that maybe they’d be small and puny but was pleasantly surprised by their larger size (same size as the very expensive ones you pay individually for at full retail).The only complaint I have is that the instructions aren’t as thorough, but because I’m already very familiar with kishu sticks, I thankfully know to boil them every month and how long they are good for.The water seems to taste as good and clear as with the full priced ones I bought at full retail.Pleased with my purchase! I definitely recommend if you’re tired of paying wacky prices at full retail here in Canada.

This item contains irregular shaped and sized pieces that cannot be sold as is. Some are stubby, some are short, and some aren't straight. But so what? They work fine in my water pitcher for purifying. The pieces are whole - no worries about broken pieces and particles. The pieces may be irregular shaped and sized, but they are thin and small enough to fit any carafe. I saved money by buying this value pack instead of the 3 packs which contain "regular" shaped and sized pieces..Follow the directions and take care not to stain your clothes when you first open and treat by boiling. These help clear up your water; remove odors; make water taste better by removing unwanted flavors; and otherwise purify/treat your water by removing chemicals while adding in beneficial minerals.I use these after filtering my water for double measure and benefits.

Von der falschen Mengenangabe mal abgesehen ist die Kohle sehr gute Qualität, viel besser wie die Bruchstücke auf dem Foto. Es waren 7 Stangen bei mir, keinerlei Bruchstücke. Von daher sieht das eigentlich gut aus, mal abwarten wie lange die aktiv bleiben.Wegen der absolut falschen Angabe (Menge ist 1/4!) kann ich nicht mehr als 3 Sterne geben.

I don't need my charcoals to be the same size, so this is a great deal. They seem to purify water just fine as well.
