This powdered tea is typical of Shuttle-era menu choices. It was returned from the STS-27 Shuttle mission (Atlantis) in 1988. Most foods stocked on the Shuttle are processed for storage at room temperature and packaged in individual portions. Astronauts add hot or cold water to rehydrate the dried foods.

Transferred from NASA to the Museum in 1989.
