The Sims 2: Bon Voyage
|
Tea was first introduced in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and can be found on various far east lots as well as the Pagoda in the Shadows, home to the Wise Old Man. Drinking tea will reward the Sim with a Vacation memento. Serving Tea to the Wise Old Man will make him tell the playable Sim the Dragon Tale, which Sims can tell to other Sims in order to earn another Vacation memento.
The Sims 4
|
Tea was included in The Sims 4 base game. It can be used to achieve various emotional states when drunk. It functions similarly to coffee, but does not stave off loss of energy. There are 6 types of tea in the base game of The Sims 4. Tea can be brewed with the "Tea Magic Personal Brewer," which can be purchased in Build Mode for §275. Brewing once grants 3 cups of the chosen Tea type, and it will, like any other perishable consumable, spoil in 10 hours after being brewed.
Tea Types
The tea names are references to actual tea, in the real-world; some have an altered name, while others have the actual name in-game.

Trivia
- Taking out a cup of tea, drinking it half-way and finishing it later can save time and allow the Sim to reach the desired outcome faster.[clarification needed]
- "Early Grey, Hot" is a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation in which Captain Jean-Luc Picard would ask the replicator for Early Grey tea with such a quote. The confidence boost may also be referencing the character's status as Captain or to "Boldly go where no one has gone before" ("Bold confidence" are the words on the buff)
