Tea is supposed to be stored in the 'fridge and consumed in a tall glass over ice (no lemon or sugar). I do pack a few bags of "regular" and green tea, just for my wife. I tried coffee bags and can barely stomach the taste. For my emergency stash I put some freeze dried in a small ziploc, squeeze out most of the air, then put that in a vacuum bag and suck-seal it. If I have the room I stick in a little gizmo that sits on top of my cup (actually an insulated mug with lid). You put some coffee in the little filter-basket thing on the bottom, sit it on the mug, and pour boiling water into it. Water drips thru the basket, real live coffee drips in to your mug. I also have a big ole mug with a built in coffee press, that works pretty well too, but is a real pain to clean...
