Happy Jackalope day! Imbibe responsibly!

Tea |
Effect |
|
1 |
“Gnome-bucha”. Fermented
fungi-based brew. The mushrooms are gathered near underground thermal vents,
so they have an increased sulfur content as well. |
Causes
sleepwalking. |
|
2 |
Cloud Special. Harvested late in
the season, in the hidden valley which is constantly covered by mist and fog:
hence the name of the tea. |
Imbiber sees
through illusions with ease. |
|
3 |
The One Tea. Every tea
plantation has a special shrub, the very first one that was planted. However,
its location is only known to the moles and worms. |
Functions as a
truth serum. |
|
4 |
Pu’er of
Foresight.
Harvested in the forbidden zone. This tea must be buried and fermented
underground for 1 to12 years. |
Provides vision
as far into the future as long as the tea was buried. |
|
5 |
Sargassam. Actually seaweeds,
not tea. Sailors cold-brew it, because sometimes you cannot light a fire on
the ship. |
Helps staying
awake when on watch duty. |
|
6 |
Emperor’s Secret. A blend
containing a single tea leaf from each province of the Empire, no more, no
less. |
Imbiber learns a dark
state secret. |
|
7 |
Tea of
Tranquility. Harvested
at night, during the new moon. |
Potent tranquilizer. |
|
8 |
Earl Greyhawk. Leaves can only
be harvested by travelling back in time to the 1970s and participating in
Gary Gygax’s campaign. |
Grants perfect
sense of time and direction. |
|
9 |
Hair of the Dog. The tea itself
is nothing special, but it must be brewed with love and care. |
Imbiber sobers up
instantly. |
|
10 |
Tea of Diplomacy. Harvested from
the deadliest place, a jungle crawling with were-tigers or something similar.
Brewed into a mellow, soothing drink. |
Drinking from the
same pot makes people more likely to agree with each other |
