When it comes to brewing Japanese tea, there are different methods to choose from, including using a teapot, teabag, or cold brew. Using a teapot is a traditional method that involves steeping loose tea leaves in hot water for a specific amount of time. This method allows for a more nuanced flavor profile and greater control over the strength of the tea. In contrast, teabags are a convenient and popular option that allows for easy and consistent brewing. Simply place the teabag in hot water and let it steep for the recommended time. Most often i make mugicha (barley tea) using tea bags. Finally, cold brewing Japanese tea involves steeping tea leaves in cold water for an extended period, usually overnight, to create a smooth and refreshing flavor.
