Nothing is more perfect than a Tea Party festival set in spring. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar introduced an event to bring the entirety of Zephyr Town for an afternoon of warmth and delicious refreshments. So, here’s a complete guide on how you can join the Tea Party Festival in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar.

Warmth In Tea Party Festival

Take a brief pause during the spring with the upcoming Tea Party festival set annually on the 27th day of Spring. From noon until 4:00 PM, the bustling town plaza will cater to Zephyr Town residents for a tea festival. Unlike other events with specific item requirements, you will only need any tea-related contribution to join.

Now, even if you are still at an early stage of your farming journey, you can still join the festival. Here’s what you will need to do to participate in the event:

  1. You have to bring one of the three acceptable items:
    • Raw tea leaves
    • Canned tea tins
    • Fully brewed tea
  2. This festival will officially begin after speaking with Mayor Felix in the plaza at noon. 
  3. Then, the festival will end at 4:00 PM regardless of when you arrived at the venue.
  4. You may choose to arrive just before the end time to get the rewards and maximize daily efficiency.

Beforehand, Mayor Felix will visit your farm on Spring 26th to remind you of the celebration. If you still haven’t grown any tea yet, he will provide you with one Spring Tea leaf. This assures that all players will get a chance to attend this massive community event.

Growing Your Own Tea

If you choose to grow your own tea, you can start by heading to Miguel’s stall and getting tea seeds. While it costs 140G per unit, these plants provide ongoing harvests throughout their growing cycle. Once you have purchased your seeds, you can now start planting in on your farm with these steps:

  1. Plant your seeds in the prepared soil available on your farm.
  2. Make sure to establish a routine of watering it daily to prevent it from dying.
  3. You will need to take care of it consistently as it will mature after exactly 9 days.
  4. The timing of your planting determines the variety of tea leaves that you will get from the harvest.
  5. Tea leaves differ each season, making it distinct and usable later for different tea blends, such as:
    • Spring: Spring Tea Leaves for Green Tea tins
    • Autumn: Autumn Tea Leaves for Black Tea
    • Summer: Summer Tea Leaves for Pu’er varieties.

Advanced Tea Processing

Those who already progressed further in the game, may access the Yellow Windmill. To use it, you must reach Bazaar Rank 4 and complete Isaac’s specific request. Which is why this is unavailable for most first-year players during the initial Spring festival.

After unlocking, you can now create various tea tins using different leaf combinations through the Yellow Windmill. These are the basic tea tins combinations in Story of Seasons and its results: 

Green Tea

2x Spring Tea Leaves

Black Tea

2x Autumn Tea Leaves

Pu’er Tea 

2x Summer Tea Leaves

Oolong Tea 

1x Autumn Tea Leaves + 1x Summer Tea Leaves

Besides these basic tin flavors, you can also make varieties to it by combining the tea leaves with other ingredients. For instance, you can add fruits to Chamomile or Mint teas for a unique flavored combination. Also, you can combine 1x Autumn Tea Leaf with 1x Cherry for a Cherry Tea tin variation.

Kitchen Brewing

After the harvesting and tea processing, the final step in tea preparation involves the kitchen. You can use tea tins as ingredients and brew it as a consumable tea for personal consumption, gift, or festival contributions. One tea tin will produce one brewed tea serving, so better have plenty of stocks available.

Festival Rewards and Benefits

Besides the enjoyment, the Tea Party festivity will also give rewards to players that made time for the event. Madeleine will distribute food items to participants as appreciation tokens. It can include cooking ingredients or prepared meals that will support your daily energy needs.

Other than that, you will also gain friendship points with villagers to strengthen your relationship with them. You will need these connections to access special events, unlock new gameplay mechanics, and immersive experience.

Conclusion

The Springs are warm, especially with the Tea Party festival set on Spring 27th in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. You can easily participate in the event by bringing either tea leaves, brewed tea, or canned tea. Also, it rewards you with food items from Madeleine that will help you maintain your current energy. Make sure not to miss out on this special and fun festival this Spring season!
