How can I pack my enormous variety of tea bags for trips?!?

At home I have 5-6 different teas - mostly herbal and not in individual packets just boxes. I travel with work and nothing I’ve tried is right to keep the different flavours separate without using loads of massive ziplock bags for 3/4 tea bags in each one which feels like a waste. They all look the same so it’s hard to tell the difference once they’re out of their boxes.

I’ve tried old school cash bags but they’re too small. I’ve tried dinner money envelopes but they’re too small.

There must be something out there - that’s likely designed for a completely different purpose - but that’s sectioned or segmented in some way to fit 3-4 different teas in….

Any inspired ideas??!

What about a cute little tea tin, with separate compartments? If all your tea bags look the same, you can always print out labels to stick on the side of each compartment.

As a travelling tea lover I know the struggle. I am happy with my wooden caddy. It is not too bulky and keeps then nice and organised. I am not a fan of plastic storage bags and they were always getting lost in my weekend bag. I like this box because I know which order my tea is in. Prior to this I used travel tea bag tins but they didn't store enough and when you have several of them take up more room.

Do you love the crass religious imagery, OP?

Drug packets, like the ones you always see getting pulled out of people's pants in TV shows.

How about something like this? You could get two to mix match the sizes you need if it works with your teas.

I take small zip locks. I take rooibos and decaf tea away with me. I agree other tea just doesn’t taste right 😂

Sainsbury’s sells them - you can get small, medium or large depending on how many you want to take
