Taking Tea in the Wild
Camping season is in full swing. Whether you're into car camping, hiking, backcountry camping, or canoe camping, one thing you will not want to leave behind is your favorite tea. In this article, Tea Journey explores five teas that are perfect for camping, considering their portability, ruggedness, flavor, and functionality.
Summer Teas & Tisanes
While the sun is shining, grab a refreshing pitcher of iced tea. Whether you do all the cooking yourself or tell everyone to bring their favorite tea-inspired dish, you’ll have a good time outdoors drinking tea.
Iced Tea Makers
Brewers to make iced tea and cold brew tea and coffee have advanced features to simplify the task of making the perfect summertime thirst quencher.
Iced Tea Pitchers
Pitchers are the best way to display the beautiful color of iced tea. Quantity counts and these selections are sturdy, functional and appealing. Look for pitchers that can withstand the fresh brewed, flash-chill process.
Teaware
Gather round, and grab a cup as the tea is on the boil. Mugs and bags may do in a rush, but filling (and draining) these unusual and appealing pots with fine-quality loose-leaf tea is an afternoon delight.
Manly Teas
Green tea and black tea were originally used to make tea punches for sailors. Tea punches eventually went from merchant ships to the ballrooms of Europe and colonial America where the favored liquors were rum or fortified wine.
Camping Kettles
Ah, nights by the campfire under the stars with a warm cup of camp-brewed tea! Designed with both safety and practicality in mind, this kettle’s ergonomic handle is wrapped in insulated plastic to protect hands from heat. A pointed continental spout allows for easy steam exit, lowering the risk of scalding injuries. The kettle can be used on an open fire, and heats water in only 3-5 minutes.
