Wanted to pass along an idea that some may find up their alley. Depending on your method, If you're looking to avoid some of the bulk/process/cleanup etc. of making coffee at camp but still want that hot beverage in morning, I have found Twinings Irish Breakfast tea (their strongest type) provides the giddy-up I'm looking for in the morning.
Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up. As a primarily tea drinker when I am not camping, it is good to know there's a higher caffeine variant out there.

In his book Cache Lake Country (my favorite), John J. Rowlands comments on the food found in lumber camps. One of the offerings is "tea strong enough to float an axe." I wish I could get 'hold of some of that!

I did indeed rock down to Electric Avenue, but I did not take it higher. I regret that.

Thoreau detailed how they used to drink tea in the northern logging camps in his book The Main Woods as well. Apparently they put molasses in it as well which I've found to be pretty good with a strong tea.

I always take a variety of Twinings Tea everywhere I go. It depends on how much of a "kick" I feel like I need at any time. The Darjeeling is the lightest. English Breakfast is my go to most often. The Irish Breakfast and Prince of Wales get the strongest. For some reason, I use sugar when it is hot, but like it better with no sweetener when cold.
