I am looking forward to actually brewing tea in the game, instead of the tea machine we have now. Weddings sound fun for once or twice but a functional tea pot sounds like something I might end up using a lot. My spellcasters will definitely enjoy a nice cup of real tea.

Let's hope we can get the same kinds of tea as we can get with the tea machine because I like the green tea with it's +2 happy moodlet.

Varieties of teas connected to the tea set (put in spoiler in case you prefer to find out later):

Spoiler

Calming Chamomile
Cozy Apple Juice
Earl Grey
Healthy Green Tea
Orange Blossom
Pitch Black
Run Oolong
Black Dragon

Thank you for the list. I wasn't able to catch the livestream, just read a summary. I actually want to try out the pack first before watching it, if I still feel like it after playing. But the tea is the one thing I want to know the details. I love drinking tea in real life and so do my sims.

@Atreya33 You’re welcome ? I like tea as well and much prefer it to coffee. The new tea set itself looks very nice and will hopefully make for some cosy tea parties.

I'm also seeing Spiced Sparkling Apple Juice on my tea maker in game right now even though it's not a holiday, so apparently it shows up with some other trigger than Holidays...or something. Peppermint tea would be a good Winterfest tea. :)

There's also a tea option currently in the game which I forgot about, and that is Yerba Mate (from Jungle adventures). That is one I don't have unlocked on any of my Sims right now.

@Stormkeep I’ve checked in about a handful of my saves now with sims who have both high and low level cooking skills and covering all four seasons and all of them are able to make Spiced Sparkling Apple Juice, so it doesn’t seem to need a trigger after all ? The way I remember it, though, is that it wasn’t always available for my tea loving sim. Maybe it came with a patch? Or maybe it’s simply my memory slipping? ? But you were right to notice it when I made the list for the new tea set, because on the new set it isn’t called Spiced Sparkling Apple Juice but Cozy Apple Tea. I didn’t pick up on that which hopefully has more to do with me not playing in English rather than the memory thing. I wonder whether it’s a new kind of tea or a new name for the old tea?

There's also Bee Tea which requires honey.

I mentioned that as one of the absent options for the new tea set in my previous reply in the thread, which is the one where someone followed up by asking about pepperment tea.

Specifically we didn't see Bee Tea, Lemon Honey Ginger Detox and Steamy Ginseng teas, nor the Yerba Mate on the new tea set. I just had missed Yerba Mate in my original comment, hence why I called that one out in the reply you quoted.

I am hopeful the new tea set will be able to also serve all of these and that the only reason we didn't see them as options is because the Sim doing the serving didn't have them unlocked. Bee tea requires honey to unlock, Lemon Honey Ginger Detox requires the wellness skill, and Yerba Mate requires .. uh.. something in Salvadora (maybe just drinking it?).

I have no idea if Steamy Ginseng has an unlock requirement. If it does, all of my Sim households have met the requirement.

I'm very excited for the 2 new tea varieties.

The game we saw on the livestream only had base game and the Wedding expansion installed. Any teas from other expansions would not be included because they weren't installed.

Omg yes! As a tea drinker, I've found myself collecting quite a great many of CC tea sets. It would really be nice to have a non-mod one. Now all I need is money...

Is is just me or does it look a lot like Mrs Potts from Beauty and The Beast ?

Ohh, now that you mention it, I have several cc tea sets too. I hope they get updated to be serveable with the new pack. If not...I'm gonna update some of them for my own use myself. >.<

I am so happy about this too! My sim may be a vampire, but he is still an English gentleman and he deserves to have a proper tea set for his tea.

wish we had plasma tea it be epic to have high society vampires sipping away

I wish they had more vampire food options with plasma fruit aswell and they could have plasma coffee and tea

Does anyone know if the new tea set has "invite others to drink tea" option?

There doesn’t seem to be one, regrettably. When the sim on the livestream has finished steeping the tea, the options that appear on the tea pot are “Drink”, “Put in Inventory”, “Clean Up” and “Put Away”, and there were two other sims in the household at the time. However, the lady who talked about the tea set mentioned that once you had poured the tea, you would be able to serve it, but maybe that just means putting the tray on a table and then other sims will (or will not) grab a cup? She also said there will be special options if you choose to have a tea ceremony as part of a wedding/reception where the sim serving the tea will be able kneel or bow, but that might just be an action performed after the tea cups have appeared on the tray and not something that is done while presenting other sims with a cup?
