Four teas, one process.

Black, Green, White and Oolong tea all follow the same steps with the same recipes. Only the seed and the variety names change.

1

Check your level

Are you Farmer level 2+ and beYou level 25+?
NO TO EITHER

Buy nothing yet

  • Farmer level 0 or 1: tea grows on Enriched Soil, which only level 2+ Farmers can farm, and the tea farming recipes are Level 2.
  • Under beYou level 25: you can't use the farming equipment yet.

Keep working your levels and come back once you meet both.

YES TO BOTH

beYou Black Tea is a farm crop

Every tea seed recipe uses beYou Black Tea, which is grown from a regular seed. It isn't the same item as the pressed Black Tea you make in step 5.

Make the Mother Pot

Farmer · bY Farming Potting Station I · "[Tea] Mother Pot (Level 2)"

Craft 1 pot from

  • 12 Stoothies
  • 5 beYou Potters Soil
  • 3 Cultivation Nutrients
  • 1 bY Terra Glazed Plant Pot
  • 1 beYou Water
  • 10 bY Stamina
Makes 1 [Tea] Mother Plant (pot only) · L$46.75

Tea pots differ from agave pots

Tea pots need 12 Stoothies and 5 Potters Soil. Agave and Tobacco pots need no Stoothies and only 3 Potters Soil. Match the pot to the seed: a Black Tea pot takes a Black Tea seed.

↓

Collect, rez and set up the pot

The pot arrives as a gift on your beYou profile. Collect it, rez it in-world and set it up before loading.

4

Load the pot and grow

24 hours in the pot, then grow on Enriched Soil

Load the rezzed pot with

  • 1 [Tea] Mother Seed
  • 2 bY Salt Extractor
  • 1 bY Fabrication Token
↓

Wait 24 hours

The pot picks one variety of that tea at random and adds a seed for it to your account. A Green Tea pot always gives a Green Tea variety.

↓

Plant on Enriched Soil and harvest 20 cuts

All 20 cuts are the variety the pot picked. Each tea has 15 varieties:

What one harvest makes

20 cuts → 20 dried. Shredding takes 15, so 5 dried are left over → 20 shredded → 2 press batches → 40 pressed tea. Save the 5 leftover dried from each harvest. Three harvests' leftovers make one more shred batch.

Brew it

Culinary · Crockpot I · Level 2

Make Loose Tea

Every pressed variety has 3 loose tea blends of its own (180 in all). For example, Assam Golden Tip Black Tea makes Golden Tip Assam, Dublin Morning or Spice Market Chai. Each blend takes:

  • 10 pressed [Variety] Tea
  • 10 Atomic Farts · 5 Happy Sniffs · 5 Used Fibers
  • 5 oil blends and extracts, 2 each (these vary by blend)
  • 10 beYou Power · 5 bY Stamina
Makes 10 Loose Teaabout L$9.27–L$9.39 each
↓

Make a Tea Server

  • 10 of that Loose Tea
  • 10 bY Tea Bag
  • 5 Reggies · 2 Clean Laundry · 2 Community Spirit Token
  • 1 bY Culinary Research Credit · 1 bY Fabrication Token
  • 10 beYou Power · 10 bY Stamina
Makes 10 [Blend] Tea Serverabout L$17.62–L$17.70 each

Tea Bags come from Textiles

Tea Bag (Level 0) is made at the Cutting Desk I: 2 Cut Fabric Kit, 2 each Hemp, Olivica and Rice Paper, 5 each Nipple Wax, Pie Crumbs and Sticky Fingers, 1 Textiles Scissors, 10 Power and 10 Stamina. Makes 15.

Side recipe: Iced Tea Pitcher (no tea needed)

Each of the 180 blends also has a matching [Blend] Iced Tea Pitcher. All 180 use the same recipe, and none of them contain tea, so you can make any flavor's pitcher without growing anything:

  • 12 each Used Threads, Used Paint Chips, House Plant Leaves, Nipple Wax and Belly Yums
  • 1 each Glass Sheets, Basic Hardware Kit, Machining Kit, Refined Tool Kit and Refined Finishing Kit
  • 1 bY Culinary Research Credit · 10 beYou Power · 5 bY Stamina
Culinary · Crockpot I · Level 1 · makes 5 about L$23.49 each (estimate, not in the cost workbook yet)

Pitchers are a lower-level option

Pitchers are Level 1, while Loose Tea and Tea Servers are Level 2. That makes pitchers the way into the tea line for Culinary crafters before they can brew. No other recipe uses a pitcher, so it's a finished item.

Good to know

No variety is wasted

Unlike agave, every tea variety has its own loose tea blends. Whatever the pot picks, you can take it all the way to a Tea Server without trading.

Will more crops come?

Yes, but only on Enriched Soil. All new higher-level crops will grow there.
