Classic, functional and natural E1 grade environmental Cork Coaster. No tree is cut down to harvest cork. The cork comes from the outer bark of the cork oak tree. To harvest the cork, it is stripped off the tree by hand about every nine to twelve years. After harvesting, the tree continues to form new layers and restore its protective barrier. Each tree can produce cork for about 200 years. As the trees mature, the harvests produce thicker cork that is even better quality. Because cork is all-natural, it has distinct properties that make it a versatile material. It acts as a great insulator, making it ideal for placemats and tableware with a rustic, natural finish.
