These lightweight chopsticks are made from salvaged Hinoki wood, which is known for its durability, antibacterial properties, and herbal, slightly spicy fragrance.Taiwan is home to ancient natural cypress forests, including two native species: the Taiwan red cypress and the Taiwan yellow cypress, the latter of which is a variety of hinoki. During Japanese colonial rule and into much of the postwar period, these old forests were logged to contribute to a growing commercial forestry industry.For conservation reasons, existing growth can no longer be logged, but wood salvaged from old structures is still being used, like in these chopsticks.About Yun Hai SelectionYun Hai Selection is the house brand of Yun Hai Taiwanese Pantry.Product CareHand wash and air dry immediately.
