Cooking Skill Context
While Tea itself is not a cooking skill item, the Cooking skill tree in Fields of Mistria affects how you can use Tea in recipes. Player reports highlight that the Time to Eat perks (which reduce cook time), Waste Not Wont Not (which returns leftover ingredients), and Dinner for Two (which occasionally creates an extra dish) are particularly useful when cooking in bulk with crops like Tea.
The Well Seasoned perk in the Cooking skill tree increases chances of finding uncommon or rare foraged items, which can help you gather ingredients like Lemon for the Tea with Lemon recipe.
