Relax Tea is a straightforward hot beverage that you can make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. Brewing Relax Tea is complicated because it can be hard to obtain or make Relax Tea Leaves.

This drink has a lot of benefits though, so it’s definitely worth it if you have the time.

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.

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Relax Tea 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

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish 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.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Relax Tea is anywhere between 1480 G and 1570 G.

If Huang offers you 1510 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.

Keep in mind that his bids will never go lower or higher than this defined range, so 1570 G is the maximum price you can get for selling Relax Tea.
