Zess Tea

Zess Tea is a special kind of beverage found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is yellow-orange in color and comes in a purple tea cup. The name of this Item is a pun on the person who brews it, namely Zess T. the Toad chef.

To make Zess Tea, the player needs to obtain a Golden Leaf from a tree found behind Creepy Steeple. If the leaf is brought to Zess T. in Rogueport, she will brew Zess Tea out of it. Zess Tea is a recovery item and usable both inside and outside of battles. Using it restores twenty of Mario's Flower Points and can be used as a substitute for the more expensive but easier to get Maple Syrup. In the Japanese version, the selling price for the item is 10 coins in all shops. In the international versions, the selling price is 6 coins in all shops.
