I always take a tea set along camping, regardless of how crazy it may seem, and am happy to see I'm not the only one! I find that a lot of people focus on the technical skills of preparing tea, and not as much on the whole experience of it, which is what appeals to me. I live in Taiwan, and most of our camping is in bamboo forests. My regular camping buddies have often commented that our tea (any variety) always seems to taste better in a bamboo grove. I have a standard travel set in a plastice suitcase (contains butane-powered stove, kettle, pot, pitcher, 6 cups, and loose tea) for 'car camping' and off-road 4x4 trips, and a smaller gaiwan-style set (gaiwan, pitcher, and 6 cups in a padded pouch a little larger than a digital camera bag that can be worn on a belt) for hiking or when space is tight. It's great to see this kind of post - thanks for putting it up, and hope there'll be more like them in the future. Very nice post.

Great post by the way, finally something about tea and the pleasure of enjoying it... other than tea for weight loss. Well done! That is so cool!
