Very fun! Unfortunately, I experienced a glitch causing a 5th item slot to be available, and when an item went into that spot, it broke the reading system of the items in your available space, not allowing me to continue. it was the 3rd upgrade,  Moroccan Tea, Sugar, Milk, and boba if that helps! I did end up losing out on 100 dollars due to selecting only a single upgrade instead of one from both menus. 

You are also able to place the drink down on the counter and pick it back up, and not have to remake it.

I had a wonderful time playing the game, it was very relaxing... until the koi fish. That startled me. A bit more of a tutorial on how things work in the game would be a great help! It took me a little to figure out how to work the tea making system.
Overall, with some polish, this would be an even better game than it already is! And don't even get me started on the lore amount put into this.

I really enjoyed this game! The simple controls left for some interesting exploration. I was struck by some kind of emotion after I planted a sugar cane and had to solve a coi fish-split color-focus-image puzzle. I was caught off guard! But I was immensly amused by it ❤️

After letting Yan-Shen wait for a full day for her well deserved ceylon tea (and even tipping me for it) I LOL:ed when the tea cup that came out of the "tea machine" was so tiny that I had to look for it for a full minute. In all fairness, after some tweaks I think you acutally have something here!
