Tea Time

Have a favorite trail recipe or technique you'd like to share? Please do! We also like reviews of various trail food products out there. The Backcountry Food Topix forum is the place to discuss all things related to food and nourishment while in the Sierra wilderness (as well as favorite trail head eateries).

I like Trader Joes Irish tea for in the morning and afternoon. It's good strong tea. In the evenings, I like a simple peppermint tea. It sooths the stomach and has no caffeine.

Last summer I switched from coffee in the evening with my cookie to a cup of peppermint tea with it. I don't add anything to the tea. I like Stash Peppermint Tea. Now I just have coffee in the morning.

Coyote mint (Pennyroyal) gathered along the trail. Great after dinner with some honey, especially after your hikin parter forgets to bring enough tea.

Good earth original caffeine-free for breakfast and first thing in camp. A combination of sweet and spicy done with herbs. Lemon Zinger (also caffeine-free) before bedtime. Nothing added to either one.

Not much of tea drinker, but I have been enjoying the small packets of instant Arnold Palmers and the Arizona Green tea and Ginseng. The packets are the same size a Starbucks Via instant but I do a diluted version with my salty lunch or snack. As much as I enjoy drinking Sierra water, sometimes a dash of flavor is much appreciated.
