Green Tea is the gentle energy drink brewed from the farm's tea bushes. Placing one Tea Leaves in a Keg gives a cup of Green Tea after three hours. Drinking it raises maximum energy for a few minutes and adds a small Speed boost, which helps on a long day of chores. As a money maker it is modest, because pickling the leaves earns more. Its real value lies in gifts and buffs: Caroline and Lewis both love it. The remixed Community Center also accepts it in the Brewer's Bundle.

Making

The leaves come from a Tea Bush. Caroline sends the Tea Sapling recipe the day after her two-heart event. A sapling takes about twenty days to grow into a bush.

A grown bush yields one Tea Leaves each day during the last week of Spring, Summer and Fall. Indoors, in the Greenhouse or a Garden Pot, it keeps producing through Winter too. A row of bushes therefore gives a burst of leaves at the end of every season.

The Keg needs only three hours per cup, so a single Keg can brew several cups in one day. During the Desert Festival, Caroline also sells Green Tea at her stall for Calico Eggs.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices

A cup of Green Tea sells for twice the price of the leaf that went in. The Artisan profession adds two fifths on top.

The Preserves Jar beats the Keg for this crop. Pickling a Tea Leaves gives a jar worth three times the raw leaf, half as much again as a cup of tea. The jar takes a few days, but Tea Leaves only arrive one week a season anyway. For pure profit, the leaves belong in jars. Green Tea is the choice when the buff or a gift is the goal.

Uses

Drinking Green Tea lifts the energy cap and quickens the step for just over four minutes. The extra energy suits a heavy session of watering, chopping or mining. As a drink buff, it stacks with food buffs, including food that raises maximum energy. Another drink replaces it, though, so only one of Green Tea, Coffee, Ginger Ale or Triple Shot Espresso works at a time.

The remixed Brewer's Bundle in the Pantry lists Green Tea as one of its options. A Blobfish pond may also ask for a cup before it grows.

At the Sewing Machine, Green Tea in the spool makes the Tea Shirt. It is also a green dye in the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane.

Gifts

Caroline and Lewis love Green Tea, and Caroline is also the one who hands out the first sapling recipe. Most other villagers like it, Sebastian included. Jas and Vincent hate a cup of Green Tea.

These villagers love receiving Green Tea as a gift.
