Tea while traveling

[CanadaBlue]

I do a bit of traveling in my job, and I'm trying to come up with a simple system for enjoying some tea on the road.

How do you make your tea while traveling?
What equipment and tools do you pack?
How do you carry your tea?
Where do you get your water from?


Thanks!

The easiest thing to do, in my opinion, is make your own tea bags using tea paper filters and your lose tea. Put them in something air tight if you can, and something non-transparent (e.g., ziplock bags in a black cosmetic case).

As for the water--there was discussion about using hotel room coffee makers for brewing water--just clean out the basket very well, and replace the glass carafe with a mug. Be careful of heating water in the microwave, as obviously the water will take on the scent/taste of other foods that have been cooked/reheated in it.

Hope this helps!

I use to bring my water boiler (tho it's big) and a lot of tea. Water doesn't use to be a problem when travelling in Sweden - which I do most of the time - since the usual kitchen water tend to be so good.

Carry tea and a small strainer. Order a pot of tea from room service, and tell them to leave the tea on the side. Substitute your tea of choice, and enjoy!
