I like Trader Joes Irish tea for in the morning and afternoon. It's good strong tea. In the evenings, I like a simple peppermint tea. It sooths the stomach and has no caffeine.

Last summer I switched from coffee in the evening with my cookie to a cup of peppermint tea with it. I don't add anything to the tea. I like Stash Peppermint Tea. Now I just have coffee in the morning.

Coyote mint (Pennyroyal) gathered along the trail. Great after dinner with some honey, especially after your hikin parter forgets to bring enough tea.

Good earth original caffeine-free for breakfast and first thing in camp. A combination of sweet and spicy done with herbs. Lemon Zinger (also caffeine-free) before bedtime. Nothing added to either one.

Not much of tea drinker, but I have been enjoying the small packets of instant Arnold Palmers and the Arizona Green tea and Ginseng. The packets are the same size a Starbucks Via instant but I do a diluted version with my salty lunch or snack. As much as I enjoy drinking Sierra water, sometimes a dash of flavor is much appreciated.

Irish Breakfast and Scottish Breakfast. Strong flavors.

I drink instant coffee most of the time in the backcountry in the morning because it's a substantial weight/volume savings over real coffee.

But there's no need to resort to instant tea when backpacking. Good loose leaf tea and quality premade tea bags are both very light on a per cup basis. And it's easier to dry out the used tea for carrying out than it is for coffee grounds. After five years nobody has addressed my theory of nocturnal animal beverage preference.

If you like strong teas look into ones that include some Lapsang souchong in the blend, or use a good version of it in full strength if you prefer. It adds a nice smoky punch to tea. If you like that sort of thing.
