Blossoming Skies, Shiri Tea

[Blossoming Skies, Shiri Tea - 14021107]
Open and airy, the area is draped with ivory velvet patterned with gold-stitched tea leaves. A silvery alder table rests on the aromatic cedar flooring, and a brilliant display of tea plants and herbs sits behind a golden rowan counter, with a small rowan cart off to one side. You also see a midnight black velvet curtain and a piece of rich parchment.
Obvious exits: south
a piece of rich parchment
In the Common language, it reads:
Each tea jar bears the symbol of their dai, and the tea within is the traditional shiri tea.  Crystallized lotus should be added to the Eloth and Volnath brews, and the Valaka blend is best with fresh honey.  Otherwise, these are best brewed as-is when performing the shiri rai'kan, lest one overwhelm the traditional flavors.

On the rowan counter you see: an owl-etched black agate jar, a ram-embossed black agate jar, a black agate jar inlaid with a silvery salmon, a colorful butterfly-inset black agate jar, a black agate jar inlaid with a bronze nautilus, a falcon-carved black agate jar, an ivory nautilus-set black agate jar, and a gold-veined crimson and black agate jar.

Flavor: "Yachan Dreams"
