茶 - Tea

The Valley of the Peony River in the Fanged Crescent was renowned for the quality of tea from its many estates, both in the Low and High Valleys. Despite the desolation of the Garlean occupation, some trees have survived in the now-renewed gardens, and the faithful of the local shrines kept well-hidden the most ancient of the land's wild trees.Teas are available by the cup to-go, by the pot when seated, or for purchase dry. All proceeds from purchase of tea will be used to purchase more tea, and any excess returned to the valley tea concern.

Thanks to sales and a generous donation, the Valley's charcoal burners and craftsmen have been able to begin full repairs to their kilns and ovens. Please look forward to new teas and (possibly) tea-wares! -ᚨᚱᚹᛖᛞ
