The last festival in Spring is the Tea Party, where Zephyr Town residents of gather in the town plaza to share tea, homemade desserts, and snippets of juicy gossip.
Each time you participate, you receive a tasty reward and a friendship boost with the rest of the Tea Party’s attendants.
The exact rewards you get will depend on the quality of tea (or tea leaves) you donate to the festival.
How To Enter
When you wake up on Spring 26 of Year 1, Mayor Felix will pay you a visit to announce the upcoming Tea Party.
He’ll explain the festival in more detail, and provide you with one set of Spring Tea Leaves to donate to the event. (Alternatively you can offer your own tea leaves, tea tins, or drinkable teas).
The next morning, you’ll receive the prompt that the Tea Party will take place in the Town Plaza.
To begin the Tea Party, speak to Felix in the Town Plaza between 12:00PM and 3:59PM while holding any tea item, which can include:
| Qualifying Item | Where to Source |
|---|---|
| Seasonal Tea Leaves (any) |
|
| Tea Tin (any) | Yellow Windmill |
| Tea (any) | Kitchen (craftable once a recipe is acquired) |
Growing Your Own Tea
Tea Seeds can be purchased for 140G each, either from the town store (open Sundays to Thursdays) or from Miguel’s bazaar stall (open Saturdays between 10:00AM and 6:59PM).
Once planted on your farm, Tea Laves take 9 days to mature before harvesting. Investing in Tea Seeds and using fertilizer to boost their Star Ranking can help you yield better prizes from the Tea Party.
Tea Party Event Details
Once the Tea Party begins, a short cutscene reveals a unique exchange between some of Zephyr Town’s residents.
This interaction changes from year to year, with hidden bonus scenes depending on romantic pairings between select townsfolk.
After the cutscene, Mayor Felix and Madeleine wrap up the Tea Party, and you’ll receive your hard-earned rewards – and those all-important friendship boosts.
Prizes & Perks
The type of tea-related item you hand to Mayor Felix at the start of the Tea Party doesn’t matter — the quality does.
The Star Ranking of your offering affects:
- The dessert you receive from Madeleine
- The friendship points you gain with the townsfolk
| Star Ranking | Prize |
|---|---|
| 2-Star or lower |
|
| 2.5-Star to 3.5-Star |
|
| 4-Star or higher |
