John Muir
I am not only a keen hiker but I'm also a tea addict, and for for me the two go hand in hand. Whether its a Thermos at the top of a mountain or the first brew when setting up camp, I love it all. I'm not the only one with an affinity for the outdoors and tea so I thought that I would document some other more famous hiking/tea partnerships.
John Muir has a number of quotes claiming tea to be among his minimum needs.
“I rolled up some bread and tea in a pair of blankets with some sugar and a tin cup and set off.”
Even with his famously pared down equipment requirement, when he felt the urge to strike out into the outdoors tea always featured.
“Throw a loaf of bread and a pound of tea in an old sack and jump over the back fence.”
Yet another reason Muir is one of my heros. More tea dedications to follow.
