🌸 Etiquette Sins at Celestea
Tiranel has a list. A sacred, unspoken list of unforgivable tea sins:
- Stirring clockwise three times (a Kasherni mourning symbol)
- Slurping Oathshade
- Calling fine blends “leaf juice”
Repeat offenders are not corrected. They are studied, judged, and remembered.

🔥 The Forbidden Blend: Dragon’s Steam
Crafted in quiet partnership with Pai Hai, Dragon’s Steam is brewed only under full moons. It induces intense introspection and vivid memories.
🏟 Celestea in the Arena
Yes, there is a Celestea kiosk inside the Trial Arena. Ourea signed the lease before Tiranel approved it. He now manages it with grace and deep inner suffering.

“You know I love your tea, petal. But that espresso’s still hotter than you.” – Ourea
Author Notes
Celestea is the softer strike — grace where Orrek is grit, elegance where Ourea is chaos. Tiranel’s entire tea empire radiates refined perfection, which makes its existence as a direct counter-brand to Stonebrew even funnier. Love, rivalry, and bubble tea — may the best brew win.
