Other than tea mooncakes, Teacuppa also recently added Bamboo Charcoal to its webstore. Choosing the best water is very important in order to make a good cup of tea. Unfortunately, not many people has access to good source of water. We often just use the tap-water which is bad for brewing tea. By using a piece of Bamboo Charcoal is able to absorb harmful chemicals like chlorine, pesticides in the water and at the same time diffuse more natural minerals like calcium sodium, magnesium and gallium that help to purify the water. A piece of this makes your water taste much better. Bamboo Charcoal is also good as moisture absorbent in tea canisters.
