🍵 Steeped in Tradition. Forged in Fury. Served Piping Hot. 🍵
⚔️ THE STORY ⚔️
For centuries, the art of tea brewing has been more than a mere ritual—it is a sacred combat form, passed down in hushed sips and boiling battles. In the land of Cha-no-Kuni, warriors known as Leafsmiths wield kettles like blades, and the pour of hot water marks the beginning of every duel.
But peace has cracked like a delicate porcelain cup.
The ruthless Coffee Empire, fueled by speed, bitterness, and overcaffeination, has invaded, burning teahouses and replacing elegance with espresso-fueled chaos. Their leader, Lord Caffeinator, seeks to shatter the Balance of Brew and plunge the world into endless productivity.
Only one warrior remains.
Arthur Grey, a stoic tea monk from the Royal Infusiary of Camellia, bears the legacy of both British and Japanese tea traditions. With the Twin Blades of Earl and Jasmine, he must travel the sacred Steep Path, master the forbidden Milk-First Technique, and prepare the perfect cup in the face of darkness.
The kettle whistles. The leaves settle.
One brew will decide it all.
🍵 MAIN CHARACTERS 🍵
🍃 Arthur Grey – A refined warrior raised on British ceremony and Eastern serenity. Stoic, calm, deadly with a teaspoon. Known for whispering “It’s steeping time…” before every battle.
🫖 Lady Assam – A fiery tea-duelist with a blade shaped like a sugar spoon. Wields Darjeeling Storm Style, and believes in full-bodied strikes and no teabags allowed.
🍯 Master Sen Cha – Arthur’s enigmatic teacher, who speaks in riddles and only drinks his tea at precisely 72°C. His backstory is steeped in mystery—and oolong.
☕ Lord Caffeinator – The brutal overlord of the Coffee Empire, who runs on six shots of espresso and pure disdain for subtlety. Has replaced his heart with a French press.
🌀 The Cream Crusaders – An elite squad of rogue baristas who swirl milk with martial precision. Their latte art is blinding.
