The [Blue Bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-2) x Timbuk2 Sabbatical Travel Kit is everything you need to keep yourself caffeinated with high-quality coffee while on even the most rural of road trips. A collaborative offering from the two cult brands, the Sabbatical Travel Kit is a playful edition that combines elements offered by either brand in previous singular kits.
