Re: on the road
Possibly the fill your own bags. Still the convenience of a bag on the road, it opens up a bit more than a teabag, and you can fill it with whatever tea you want.
If it is feasible to travel with some sort of travel set, that would be better yet ... you can make your own set.

Re: on the road
I find a gaiwan and some tea the minimum I can get by with.
If I've got space one of these keeps me more than happy.
A lot of it will depend on what sort of tea you are drinking.

Re: on the road
I have been looking for a 1-pint electric kettle to take with me on trips, but the smallest I can find is a 1 quart. This frees me from the not-always there coffeemaker that often doesn't provide a way to get uncontaminated hot water out. So kettle, thermometer, tea, and gaiwan or kamjove infuser is my minimum. Hot water at the right temperature is really the most critical thing for the variety of teas that I drink, and the rest can be improvised.
