If you have an Asian market in your area, you should find them there, as well as ordering on line.

I use them in the office for roibos. I got mine in Zurich, but recently I found them around here also. Mine are light and fluffy, I imagine to let the water pass through larger pores, of Japanese make. I get so impatient filling them up. It seems that the soothing/self-focusing effects of ritual drinking of beverages gets somewhat lost in the intricacy of the ritual itself. Zen? A key passage to be mastered? Or just use an hand cream regularly.
