I keep bagged tea in my lunchkit,plus a container of either honey or sugar(currently sugar) .And,since we have a small dorm fridge in the back,I bring a small acrylic bottle full of milk sometimes too. You should hunt down a small stainlees teapot for work. Stays good n hot for a long time if you throw a small towel over n around it. a small bar towel is very compact and light weight. The pot will be good n durable as well and can take the rigors of going back n forth to work and being tossed around and all. Also...depending on how proud ya are, you could pack powdered creamer for travel cream. lasts forever. We are talkin work survival here after all. I've done it a few times back in the day. Keep us posted on how things work out.

well i don't put anything in my tea, and as from a travel pot at work that would not look pretty after a period considering what i do and the conditions i work in. but with thebtea bags i should be a bit better

Hmmmm...well, I don't know what ya do actually ??? But might these help as ideas ?http://www.rei.com/category/5760753

I may actually think about one of these for myself ? I like Macgyver thinking.

So, your avatar is nothing to go by then?!

It's all relative. Perhaps I should have said 'more of a twat' but you know, I can't help the way I look!

I picked up a couple of tea bags for today! Hooray!

Yeah, a couple of those are kinda cool. Have you seen any of the old skool GI mess kits lately? I remember the clamshell looking thing, one side a single compartment the other side divided, but there seemed to be a deep container as well. I don't know, I'm tending to gravitate towards a Mick inspired Billy can. I have enjoyed more than a couple hot dogs cooked with a cutting torch using a rose bud tip, I think a billy can is fancy enough for me! But, I guess if you don't have a Oxygen Acetylene torch available at work, or a billy can, those will do.

Gosh darn it!! Now I find another item I need to keep in my rig!! Does anyone know if there was another one that was deeper? Perhaps British military and not U.S.?

Check out Teavana and the Majaraja Oolong Tea, amazing.

A lunch time treat for me! Some Pearl Jasmine and some Pink Floyd on youtube! Wish you were here!

The Australian mess kit might be a bit deeper than that Don. It was just two rectangular containers, one smaller than the other to fit inside, and both with folding handles. I'll dig mine out later and take a photo if I can.
