Relax Tea Leaves are a rare item in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town that you can use to make Relax Tea. There are a lot of ingredients needed to make Relax Tea Leaves, so be prepared to stock up on a lot of Wild Grass throughout the year!

But Relax Tea Leaves can also be obtained through two events:

After giving 20 gifts to the Harvest Goddess and choosing her or Kappa as a marriage candidate
Or by attending the Nature Sprites’ tea party

The tea party is a recurring event that happens every Spring, so make sure to attend whenever you receive the annual invite.

The farmer receives Relax Tea Leaves after the Nature Sprites’ tea party.

Where To Learn the Recipe

Lou is the visitor from the Forgotten Valley that appears in Mineral Town after you offer 75 gifts to the Harvest Goddess. You can visit her in her room on the 2nd floor of Dudley’s Inn every Sunday.

Lou offers to teach the farmer the recipe for Relax Tea Leaves.

Befriending Lou will prompt her to teach you a new recipe each time you visit. She has a total of 10 new recipes to teach you. There are prerequisites for learning a new recipe, though!

Lou will only teach you the recipe for Relax Tea Leaves once you’ve successfully cooked at least any eight of the following dishes before visiting her:

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Relax Tea Leaves can be bought from Jeff at the General Store.

The downside is that Jeff sells his kitchen equipment one by one, in 10-day intervals after you buy the first of Gotts’ house remodeling upgrades.

This means that you can only access the next piece of equipment 10 days after the previous one becomes available for purchase.

How To Sell Relax Tea Leaves

Relax Tea Leaves aren’t technically classified as a dish, so you can definitely ship them via Zack and the Shipping Bin like any regular item.

The farmer drops Relax Tea Leaves into the Shipping Bin.

You can also sell Relax Tea Leaves to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell an item to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a bundle of Relax Tea Leaves.

Since Relax Tea Leaves are regular items, you won’t be able to haggle the prices with Huang. He will offer you the same price that you would typically earn from shipping the item instead (1,000 G).
