How To Organize Your Travel Cups and Tea

Organizing

Share it with others!

I was so frustrated that ever time I reached for a travel cup, they all fell down like bowling pins! Sound familiar? I also didn’t like the clutter of all my tea boxes and packets. With just a few inexpensive supplies I will share how to organize your travel cups, tea, and drink mixes.

These were our travel cups. They were a mess and were always getting knocked over no matter how many times I tried to organize them.

I found these book bins at Walmart. They even hook together keeping them really solid.

My top bin contained loose teas, box teas that aren't individually wrapped, sugar, and my tea steeper that I got for Christmas.

My bottom bin contained all the individual wrapped teas, immune drinks, & water flavor packets. As this dwindles down I'm planning on getting my hot chocolate packets in here as well - we were just extra stocked from Christmas.

Now they stack on the shelf above the travel cups. When friends come over I just pull the trays out.

    Great idea! I love getting things organized. I did a couple of cupboards but need to do more. This inspires me to use more baskets. This is kind of what I did with my spice jars. I organized them by type of use (baking spices, etc.) and up labels in alphabetical order on the front of the baskets. It’s so much easier to find things now. πŸ™‚

        Oh Linda, I think we are a lot of alike πŸ™‚ I have my spices labeled too. I don’t have them alphabetized though, I would go through all the work and then my husband who likes to cook would get in there and mix it all up.

        My spices are divided between those that are generally used in sweet things and those generally used in savory things and then in alphabetical order. Works very well, especially since I’m the only one using them!

    Chas, this is a grand idea! I’ve been planning on organizing my drinks cupboard, and this is just the motivation I needed. There are just two of us, but I love that you have five baskets, one for each of you, for travel cups.

    Divide and conquer, it’s definitely the way to go. Don’t you just love using a cupboard or drawer once it is all organised like this. πŸ™‚
