📋 About This Mod
This mod adds four new types of tea:
Black Tea (Red Tea, 紅茶)
The most basic tea for many people. More oxidized than green tea.
-
[]add 1 tea leaf to (de)hydrator to oxidize it into black tea.[/]
Dark Tea (Fermented Tea, 黑茶)
Pu'er is one of the most famous types of this tea. Mushroomy taste and very healthy.
-
[]add 1 tea leaf to cask to ferment it into dark tea. To further age it, re-apply[/]
Matcha (抹茶)
Fresh umami grassy tasting tea. A bamboo whisk is used to make it.
-
[]add 1 tea leaf to mill to pulverize it.[/]
Floral Tea (Infusion)
Not actually a tea but the technique is similar. It felt weird the dehydrator did nothing to flowers so here we are.
-
[]add 5 any types of flowers to dehydrator to dry them into an infusion.[/]
My original plan was to make a custom category for tea items so that eg iced tea could use any tea type in the recipe but apparently that can't be achieved with just content patcher so I left it be.
There is a a config option to toggle on/off the floral tea making since some other mods use dehydrator as well.
Tea recipes are unlocked by different requirements and some come as letters.
