If you have neither Kyusu nor teapot with a fine mesh filter, it is easy and convenient to prepare iced Japanese tea using Hibiki-an Teabags.

(1) Iced Japanese Tea Using Hibiki-an Teabags

Using Hibiki-an tea bags, you can prepare iced Japanese tea as explained in the above recipes. Each individual tea bag from Hibiki-an contains 5 grams of tea leaves.
