Instant Tea is the script name of shifting teapots. Each pot has a list of tea or coffee available via TURN. Some have racial or cultural messaging.

Tea leaves or coffee beans can be added, like a normal tea kettle, to brew a pot. Each pot is brewed instantly and provides an unlimited supply of perfectly brewed tea or coffee until the teapot is CLEANed.
