8 x AA battery case, just a little bigger than a deck of cards. The gel insert is removable. Not quite air tight though.
I have a slight excess since I didn’t realise they came in packs of two when I ordered (at least not packs of 10 though). Once can be yours gratis (no this isn’t just a vain attempt to get a mention on the ain’t forumeers brilliant thread).
I knew i had kept these mini cigar boxes for some obscure reason, despite the cigars being foul, they are the perfect tea bag transportation device holding 6 tea bags comfortably and quite air tight when snap closed – cheers stoner…i also carry my tea bags to work in a zip lock bag and they get crushed, not any more.
Transorting my teabag isn’t an issue, I put one inside my Morrison’s On-the-go flask, and add hot water from the whizzy tap at work. Still drinking it at 2.30, six and a half hours later.
What are you doing drinking tea bags? Are you some sort of commoner? This is STW, we don’t have tea bags, we have whiny middle-class cockbags. Have a word with yourself.
Also, I don’t believe for a moment that “Stoner” will have any difficulty in transporting around a small amount of dried leaves.
Aww…… don’t be disappointed in us Cougar? – we do try hard – in fact i’d say i’m one of the wankiest cockbags about when it comes to how i like specific things and my methods of preparation – i’m so far removed from being middle class though….lowly council house scum 🙁 ….oh to dream….to dare aspire to be middle class…one day…one day perhaps…..
Some days when i know i’ll be working flat out without any breaks for 8hrs+ i take my Bodum mini cafetiere/flask thingy with 30g of fresh ground coffee left over from my morning grind for my double espresso, same thing as this below,
Other days i take my travel mug with either a loose scoop of Brodies strong breakfast blend tea, although the past few weeks i have taking my new Alpkit Kelvin travel mug (it’s titanium you know – so there!) , and sometimes i take one of my 3 Ginger teabags (as above) and a thumb sized lump of fresh cut ginger and a baggie of fresh cayenne pepper, I bash the ginger into submission in the bottom of the Kelvin mug before i add the teabag, pepper and boiling water (i eat a helluva lot of fresh ginger – it seems to help alleviate my raynauds).
If that doesn’t qualify for admission into the cockbag club then i am at a complete loss over what to do next.
PS – if we gain admission to the club do we get a special “cockbag” moniker after our our forum name?,
Loose tea would clog my flask, and I really can’t be arsed to fanny around brewing a pot of tea to fill my flask, that would take as long as it takes me to walk to work!
I use pure Green Tea bags, though, so there! 😛
Guy I work with is a tea drinker, after emptying his business card box to light the Kelly Kettle, he now uses that to keep the tea bags in. Can squash about a fortnight’s worth in because he doesn’t do fancy tea, just builders. Do have a couple of emergency tea bags tucked into the strap on the sun visor in the Land Rover too.
Durhambiker – my wife is very disappointed that the Ringtons vans don’t come down to Mid Wales and has to rely on aid parcels from relatives.
Worth checking the soopermarkets out as sometimes Twinings do a little plastic tea bag holder doodah. Think we had one, will have a look later when I’m home.
timber: I think a couple of new franchisees have started up in South Wales, so maybe we’ll spread further North at some point. If I could have my own way (hah not likely, the wife will never leave Durham) I’d hand my notice in, then buy the rights to a franchise and move back to Mid Wales. If it ever becomes a reality, I’ll let ya know 😉
Stoner, I simply can’t stand by and let you tolerate either substandard tea, or a bulky pack.
Email me in profile with your address details and I will personally post you a Yorkshire Tea Sample pack with 10 of our finest tea bags.
Perfect for a short break away from home.
If Carol in our staff shop is feeling in the mood I may even throw in an surprise extra…no promises.
