Tea crafting in Rust provides valuable buffs for survival and resource gathering. Here's a comprehensive guide to brewing effective teas.

First, acquire a Mixing Table from the Bandit Camp (175 scrap) or research its blueprint (75 scrap) and craft it using 200 metal fragments and 100 stone at a Level 1 Workbench.

Collect berries (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, White) from grassy areas and plant their seeds in planter boxes for a sustainable supply. Each berry type creates different tea effects:

• Max Health Tea: Increases maximum health
• Healing Tea: Provides health regeneration
• Ore Tea: Boosts ore gathering
• Wood Tea: Increases wood yield
• Scrap Tea: Enhances scrap collection
• Anti-Rad Tea: Reduces radiation exposure

Teas come in three tiers:

• Basic: Created with berry combinations
• Advanced: Combine 4 Basic teas
• Pure: Combine 4 Advanced teas

To brew tea:

1. Place berries in correct sequence on Mixing Table
2. Click "Start Mixing"
3. Collect finished tea

Key brewing tips:

• Different tea effects stack, but identical ones don't
• Gathering effects last 30 minutes
• Health effects last 20 minutes
• Berry placement order matters
• Store ingredients in boxes under the Mixing Table

The Mixing Table also efficiently crafts Low-Grade Fuel and Gunpowder, requiring less charcoal than traditional methods.

For optimal results, time your tea consumption with activities - drink Ore Tea before mining or Scrap Tea before looting.
