Tea leaves come in a variety of flavors and can be bought at both local town shops and special festival shops. They come in a 20 count tin or in a packet with a single pot.

Packet

The packet makes a single pot of tea. When the one pinch of leaves has been removed from the packet it will not go back into it.

Analyze

You analyze your peach parchment packet and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a container to hold brewable tea leaves.  There is one pinch of tea leaves in the packet.

The tea leaves will make tea with the following flavor messaging:
a) The dusky taste of the tea itself tames the sweet peachy flavor that rides in the forefront.
b) If not for the dry quality of the black tea, the accompanying peach flavoring would be overwhelmingly sweet.

You get no sense of whether or not the packet may be further lightened.

SHOW

Read: A small label on the red parchment packet reads, "Apple Tea."

Usage

Verb First Third
CLOSE You carefully refold the red parchment packet. XXX carefully refolds a red parchment packet.
GET (leaves) You take some tea leaves from the red parchment packet. XXX takes some tea leaves from a red parchment packet.
OPEN You carefully unfold the red parchment packet. XXX carefully unfolds a red parchment packet.

Tin

The tin holds enough leaves for 20 pots of tea.

Analyze

You analyze your raspberry-motif tin and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a container to hold brewable tea leaves.  There are 20 pinches of tea leaves in the tin.

The tea leaves will make tea with the following flavor messaging:
a) The scent of raspberry rising from the tea has a fresh tenor reminiscent of warm summer days.
b) A roiling mixture of sweet and tart complement the flavor of this light-bodied tea in a splash of raspberry zest.

You get no sense of whether or not the tin may be further lightened.

SHOW

Read: A small label on the raspberry-motif tin reads, "Raspberry Tea."

Usage

Verb First Third
CLOSE You replace the lid of the raspberry-motif tin and screw it tightly shut. XXX replaces the lid of raspberry-motif tin and screws it shut.
GET (tea leaves) You take some tea leaves from the raspberry-motif tin. XXX takes some tea leaves from a raspberry-motif tin.
