Ingredients	Caffeine Green Grass

Super Caffeine is a type of medicine that you can buy or make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. The best time to cook Super Caffeine is in the Summer or Autumn because you can harvest the ingredients needed for it all season long!

Tip: You can actually purchase Super Caffeine for 2,000 G from Elly’s front desk at Mineral Clinic after shipping 50 pieces of Green Grass.

The farmer buys Super Caffeine from Elly at the Clinic.

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 Super Caffeine.

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 Super Caffeine once you’ve successfully cooked at least any seven of the following dishes before visiting her:

Requirements

The farmer forages Green Grass from the Hot Spring in the Summer.

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Super Caffeine 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.

Mixer	10 days after the Rolling Pin becomes available for purchase 60 days after upgrading to the Medium House	1,200 G

Green Grass is a forageable wild item that you can pick up around Mineral Town in certain seasons. Combining this with a regular bottle of Caffeine will give you a more powerful concoction that restores 60% more stamina.

It’s a good idea to keep a few pieces of Green Grass on hand just in case you need to make a couple more Super Caffeines throughout the year!

How To Sell Super Caffeine

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.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a bottle of Super Caffeine.

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 Super Caffeine is anywhere between 800 G and 1700 G.

If Huang offers you 900 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.

Huang offers to buy Super Caffeine from the farmer.

Keep in mind that his bids will never go lower or higher than this defined range, so 1700 G is the maximum price you can get for selling Super Caffeine.
