Teahouses

Teahouses are cafes that serve tea and refreshments. They are common meeting places for lovers, friends, and acquaintances. Customers get a pot, cups, and a tiny sand-clock that tells how long the tea has been steeping.

Types of Tea
Orchor is dark, bitter, and highly caffeinated. Golden orchor is weaker than black orchor, but also less harsh.

Isevren is delicate and will not interfere with sleep, and is sometimes drunk with honey.
