I highly recommend Stanley thermos flasks. I use them for my tea every day at home too, to save energy. When I lived in Norway I used to bring coffee on camping trips. I would prepare it in the morning and drink during the day. When I woke up in my tent the next morning, the coffee would be still warm and suitable drinking temperature.

I often uses a good thermos (with a relative decent pour) for tea sessions at home too. In my experience, it takes away the noice of reboiling, saves energy, and also avoid the "dead water"-effect that happens when water is boiled a couple of times and becomes quite flat. Especiallt for japanese teas (don't know why) I find the thermos exellent.

I do the same, especially while I'm working on my computer as it allows having a more minimal setup. For green teas I normally warm the water to around 90 degrees to take into account that the temperature will drop to around the ideal 80 degrees after some time in the thermos.

@@prcr Nice. For greens, I usually do not pre-heat the thermos, and then pour into the cups to lower the heat. Especially for japanese greens, when I rise the temperature after some steepings. This gives me controll over the temperatur without having to reheat the water.

I also use thermos at home for ~7 years already, it's nice to just prepare it once and have a few hours session without the need to heat the water again every time. Btw I have the same thermos as in the video, but with a different pour cap, mine is grey-blue one with a push button, it's better for heat retention because you don't need to unscrew it and expose water, internal thermos walls and the cap itself to the cold air, and this cap also has kinda narrow opening so that I can pour exact amount of water even into my smallest 50 ml gaiwan, that has 35-40 ml usable volume.

Great tips! Another one that I recommend when drinking tea outside is too try to protect the thermos from the wind, for example by keeping it inside a bag of backpack between infusions.

Good call, that helps indeed!
