tea bag tin

Sleep-friendly brews anywhere. Pack a decaf tea travel case—a slim personalised metal tin (3.94 × 3.94 × 0.39 in, inner 3.74 × 3.74 × 0.35 in) holding 3–5 sachets. Mix decaf black + herbal so late meetings don’t wreck your sleep.

Q&A with a Sleep-Savvy Traveller

Q1. Why carry a decaf kit instead of just winging it at the hotel?
Because “hotel tea” often means mystery blends and full caffeine. A caffeine-free tea holder guarantees flavour you like and a calm wind-down.

Q2. What actually goes in the tin?
I keep 3–5 sachets: decaf breakfast, rooibos or peppermint, and a ginger or chamomile for post-dinner.

Q3. Will a tiny case really make a difference?
Yes. A slim metal case stops corner crush, blocks odours from snacks/hand gel, and lives happily in a small handbag.

Q4. Evening routine when you’re shattered from travel?
Shower → decaf black with a splash of milk → 10-minute stretch → lights low. Herbal if it’s very late.

Q5. Best order during a long work day?
Daytime: regular or green. After 4pm: decaf. After 8pm: herbal only.

Q6. Loose leaf or bags?
For travel, wrapped bags win. If you must, pre-portion loose leaf into mini paper sachets and keep everything dry.

Q7. Won’t herbal scents linger in the tin?
Air it open overnight. For stubborn notes, a pinch of dry bicarb on tissue for a few hours does the trick (remove before refilling).

Mini Decision Tree: Which Mix Should You Take?

• Travelling after 8pm? → Choose Red-Eye Rescue.

• Two late nights in a row? → Red-Eye + add an extra chamomile.

• Daytime caffeine but clean evenings? → Conference Calm.

• Sensitive to caffeine after 4pm? → Late-Meeting Kit + one extra herbal.

Carry Tips (snack-size advice)

• Keep sachets wrapped; stash away from perfume or gum.

• Put the tin away from water bottles (no condensation).

• Hotel kettles: rinse once, then brew.

• Leave one decaf in your laptop bag so you’re never caught short.

Care, Fast
