FEATURES

Derived from a species of banana native to the Philippines, Abaca (also known as Manila hemp) fibers are four times as strong and only half as thick as wood fibers.

The inclusion of Abaca—a more easily renewable photosynthetic biological organism—in the composition of these filters earns them the Biomass Mark certification in recognition of their environmental consideration.

CAFEC Abaca paper filters are the official filter of the Japan Hand Drip Championship.

Through air drying paper in a flat state (versus rotary drum drying) produces two-sided crepe texturing with maintained crepe height.

Inside crepe enhances total surface area to maintain smooth water path despite fines adhesion; outside crepe maintains a layer of air between filter and dripper to promote steady flow.

Fine mesh paper facilitates stable flow of water with superior clarity in the cup.

MATERIALS

Virgin pulp.

Made in Japan
