Tea Garden is a medium-weight strategic euro game that places players in the role of tea merchants in ancient China.
In the game, you manage your own tea plantation, cultivate and ferment tea leaves, make trade deals, gain the emperor’s favor, and even send servants to the tea university.
The main resource is tea leaves – they are used to buy cards, fulfill contracts, gain extra actions, and influence the emperor. The quality of tea matters – higher-quality tea enables stronger actions but is harder to produce. Tea can be improved over time if not used immediately, creating interesting decisions between short-term gains and long-term benefits.
Fermentation, spoilage, and tea quality are not just thematic flavor – they are core gameplay elements.
Tea Garden is a game where every leaf matters – and every decision is steeped in strategy. 🍵
