Groups planning several hot drinks
An 80-bag box gives you a countable supply to plan against the number of campers and drinks. You will still need a way to heat water and somewhere dry to keep the box.
Who is an 80-bag box for?
Campers choosing an evening infusion
If you want a caffeine-free option, check the claim on the particular box and choose a flavour the group likes. Twinings describes its 80-bag peppermint, camomile and lemon-and-ginger infusions as naturally caffeine-free; their flavours are distinct.
Groups checking ingredients carefully
The flavour name alone will not tell you everything in a blend. Read the current physical pack for ingredients, allergen information and any product-specific warnings before serving it.
What should you check before choosing?
Work out how many bags to pack, settle on a flavour, then check that you can prepare and store the tea at camp.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack count | Confirm that the exact flavour contains 80 individual bags. Plan quantities against the drinks your group expects to make. | I want enough bags for the trip without assuming that every flavour or brand comes in the same box size. |
| Flavour | Compare peppermint, camomile, lemon and ginger, and rooibos by their stated flavour or ingredient profile. Check caffeine information on the chosen product. | A large box makes sense only if the group will drink that flavour; mint and floral infusions will not suit everyone equally. |
| Preparation and storage | Read the current box’s brewing directions and bring a safe way to heat water. Check its storage instructions and protect the bags from damp. | Our camp needs to be able to make the drinks and keep the remaining bags dry throughout the trip. |
| Ingredients and warnings | Read the physical pack’s ingredients, allergen information and any warning specific to that blend before serving. | If someone avoids an ingredient, I need to check the actual blend rather than rely on its flavour name. |
Camping tea mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming every herbal flavour comes in 80 bags
A brand may sell herbal infusions in several pack sizes, so choosing a flavour first does not establish that it meets your quantity plan.
Check the count on the listing and the box for the exact product you intend to pack.
-
Choosing by a wellness claim
A flavour description does not establish a health effect, and warnings can apply to particular ingredients. For example, teapigs warns that people with hypertension should limit its Liquorice & Peppermint tea to one cup a day.
Choose by flavour and the current ingredient list, and read warnings for the specific blend.
-
Letting the tea box get damp
Tesco’s listing for Twinings Lemon & Ginger says to store it in a cool, dry place. Damp camping storage would not follow that direction.
Keep the box with protected dry goods rather than leaving it exposed at the cooking area.

Questions about taking herbal tea camping
Does an 80-bag tea box need a place in the cool box?
Follow the storage directions on the chosen box. Tesco’s listing for Twinings Lemon & Ginger says to keep it in a cool, dry place, so plan protected dry storage for that product rather than cool-box space. The Food Standards Agency also suggests taking predominantly dry foods when camping without sufficient cold storage.
What do I need to make herbal tea at camp?
Bring a safe way to heat water and enough mugs for the people drinking it. Read the brewing directions on the current box before you go, particularly if you are planning how much water the group will need.
Is a flavour name enough to check for allergens?
No. Read the current physical pack’s ingredients and allergen information for the exact blend before serving it; a name such as Lemon & Ginger does not describe every ingredient.
Do ingredient warnings apply to every herbal tea?
No; check warnings on the particular blend. teapigs says people with hypertension should limit its Liquorice & Peppermint tea to one cup a day. That is a warning for that product, not a rule for all herbal infusions.
