IPPINKA Nawrap Binchotan Tea Towel - Anti-odor Tea Brown x Charcoal

If you're looking to try a unique Japanese product in your home, consider giving Nawrap Binchotan Tea Towels a try. These tea towels have been infused with binchotan charcoal, a natural anti-odor agent. This unique feature allows the tea towel to last longer and smell better, despite being constantly damp. With 4 layers of material for extra absorbency and durability, these tea towels are a great addition to any kitchen.

During production, a temporary starch coating is applied to prevent shifting of the multiple layers of material. As a result, the tea towels may initially feel stiff or crispy. However, with continued use, they will become very soft. For those looking to speed up the softening process, soaking the tea towels in boiling water a few times can help.

It's important to note that these tea towels are washing machine safe, but the color may slightly fade and the towel may shrink by about 10 to 15% after the first wash. To maintain the quality of the tea towels, avoid using bleach and refrain from putting them in the dryer. Made from a blend of 65% rayon and 35% cotton, these tea towels are both functional and durable.

Nawrap, a fourth-generation family business based in Nara, Japan, began as a mosquito net manufacturing company in 1930. Over the years, the brand has evolved into producing a range of high-quality home textiles, like the Binchotan Tea Towels. The use of binchotan charcoal in these towels provides a natural purification method that helps absorb odors and maintain freshness.

Each Nawrap product is made in Nara, Japan using traditional Japanese weaving techniques. This results in a fabric that is strong, absorbent, and quick-drying. With use, the tea towels will become softer and more comfortable to use.

The Binchotan Tea Towels are available in a variety of colors and sizes, so you can choose the option that best suits your preferences. Additionally, the focus on sustainability in the production process, with small changes leading to lower carbon emissions, makes these tea towels not only a practical choice but an environmentally conscious one as well. Add a touch of Japanese tradition to your kitchen with Nawrap Binchotan Tea Towels.
