Tea Leaves

[MusaBasjooo]

So I found Tea Leaves, and if I've understood correctly you can put them to keg and make tea. Have no idea how to produce more of them though at this point.. I have seven hearts with Caroline, but she hasn't given me the recipe or anything... So do I have to wait she has a request for me about the tea or what?

Tea is a must have for me so I always get this asap ^.^

Sooo went to see her.. She showed me the green room, I watched her hallucinate and that was it. Next day nothing special? I already got the leaves, so did I ruin everything now by going there first by myself..

I didn't know it was possible to visit her sunroom before this heart event because that is when the sunroom usually becomes available :s But you were at seven hearts with Caroline right? So perhaps that is why you were able to go in there and if you went there during a rainy day that could be why the cutscene didn't trigger.

You should get a mail containing the recipe for the Tea Sapling the day after.

No letter in the mailbox the next day?

Nope. Maybe go see her one more time with the leaves or something? Interesting if just doesn't work out now.

UPDATE: I actually was cursing too soon, the recipe came eventually. As it turns out, you can't put tea saplings in flower pot but basically everything else goes?

Glad you got it :> And careful with those little dancers,
they might try to convice you to become a Tea Oracle ;D

tea leaves work best if planted indoors, that way you will get leaves EVEN IN THE WINTER.
If you have the green house, you can plant them in the empty pots at the back of the green house.
You can also put them in the cave in still get leaves in the winter, as the cave is considered Indoors.

A bit off topic, but does anyone actually use tea as a drink? I never saw the point aside from fun/roleplaying. I do like the tea bushes as fencing, to add more greenery to the farm, but otherwise it's a pretty useless crop imo.

Done for a year huh?

Most of the time when I get to the point of having Kegs and Tea Bushes I'm already at the point where I don't really need the extra energy or it doesn't provide big enough of a buff to be worth it.

I usually just mine, mine and mine the first year and by the time I get to level 6 Farming using crops that continue producing after they've grown I can just start spamming Quality Sprinklers. So yeah, no need for extra energy.

Maybe during the first day of a season when I need to till the land and manually water the seeds. But during year two I usually have high enough energy through Stardrops or good enough tools to not need energy buffs/recharges.

I do something similar to this with my Slime Hutch:

^Same idea, except my "slime pen" is even smaller so that I can cram even more tea saplings into mine than his screenshot shows.

Huh... Am I the only one that actually tries to breed some rare diamond slimes in a hutch? Just wondering. With addition of tiger slimes it got a bit easier, them gray-ish slimes do mostly drop stone or refined quartz, but occassionally some diamonds too.

I have to agree, tea seems like a useless food to me, except as a loved gift for a few NPC.

Tea has no use when you already have coffee or even triple expresso at hand, but it has its uses as a gift.

Green Tea can be useful early on because of the max +30 energy buff that lasts for almost 5 minutes compared to the speed boost you get from coffee that lasts for about 1 and a half minute. The speed boost from Triple Shot Espresso lasts much longer.

Personally I do prefer speed over more energy after a couple of stardrops. To be completely honest I mostly keep growing tea because I like the tea bushes xD
