What is so special about black bamboo?
Black bamboo – also known as Purple bamboo It is known – its dark, black-violet color only develops over time. After about 8 months, the stalk begins to change color, and after about 2 years it reaches its characteristic depth.

Why is bamboo that is at least 2 years old used?
Only bamboo that has matured for at least two years is used in the production process.
