Berries
The majority of what people can make with the mixing table appears to be tea at the moment. That tea is made from berries. These berries can be found in various bushes around the map.
Berries can also be grown from seeds and cloned (you receive one seed when picking a bush). Eaten alone, they provide a small amount of caloric intake and hydration (5 and 2 respectively). That said, the real magic begins when you start combining them into teas on the mixing table.

Tiers of tea
Now before we get into the exact types of tea, it’s important to cover the tiers of tea. With 3 tiers total, teas can have a range of impacts depending which tier they are. To get a higher tier tea, you simply combine 4 of the lower tier teas together and it’ll produce one high tier (I.E. 4 normal healing teas will combine into an advanced healing tea).

Types of tea
In total, there are 6 types of tea. Each type requires different berries and provides different effects. Below is a list of the current types of tea and their effects. Note that in order to properly produce the tea, you must follow the recipe in the exact order. Failure to do so will have you unable to start mixing.
The gathering effects last about 30 minutes and max health effect lasts up to 20 minutes.
