About

Tea Paths

Features
Read full description

Tea Paths: Six Destinies is a handcrafted routing puzzle built around a unique idea: white, green, yellow, oolong, black, and dark tea all begin with the same leaf—but become completely different through the path they travel. Rotate golden path pieces, connect processing stations, and guide fresh tea leaves through a living miniature workshop. Every station changes the condition of the leaf. Withering reduces moisture, rolling bruises it, fixing stops oxidation, roasting adds warmth, drying preserves the result, yellowing creates mellow character, and aging unlocks deeper earthy tea. Connecting a path is only the beginning. A route can be physically complete and still create the wrong tea. To succeed, you must choose the correct stations, place them in the correct sequence, manage oxidation, control heat, avoid excessive queue times, and deliver every leaf to the matching cup. Once you tap BREW, the entire workshop comes alive. Leaves begin moving through the route, gates light up as they are tested, stations process each order, tea states change in real time, and cups fill only when the final recipe is correct. Later levels introduce several leaves at once, multiple tea orders, shared equipment, limited station capacity, heat choices, competing routes, and queues that can over-process an otherwise perfect leaf. WHAT MAKES TEA PATHS UNIQUE? • ONE SOURCE, SIX RESULTS Every tea begins as the same fresh leaf. Your routing and processing choices decide whether it becomes white, green, yellow, oolong, black, or dark tea. • ROUTING THAT CHANGES STATE Paths do more than move an object from one place to another. Every station transforms moisture, oxidation, bruising, aroma, dryness, and the final tea family. • A LIVE WORKSHOP The puzzle continues after BREW is pressed. Multiple leaves travel simultaneously while shared stations, processing time, capacity, and queues affect the outcome. • CONNECTED DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN CORRECT A leaf can reach a cup and still fail because it was processed in the wrong order, exposed to incorrect heat, oxidized for too long, or sent to the wrong tea family. • HANDCRAFTED PUZZLES All 10 levels are individually designed rather than randomly generated. Each level introduces a deliberate new idea, layout, route, or workshop challenge. • LEARN THROUGH PLAY Tea knowledge is built directly into the mechanics. Discover why early heating creates green tea, why black tea requires deeper oxidation, and how aging gives dark tea its distinctive character. YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORKSHOP Begin with a guided interactive tutorial that explains how to rotate gates, read an order, connect stations, and begin a live brew. Early levels introduce individual tea recipes, while advanced stages require you to control several destinations at the same time. By the final challenge, one shared workshop must produce all six tea families. Every gate, station, route, queue, and processing decision matters. FEATURES: • 10 completely handcrafted puzzle levels • Six distinct tea families and processing recipes • Large touch-friendly rotatable path pieces • Multiple simultaneous tea orders • Shared processing stations and capacity management • Real-time oxidation and tea-state simulation • Heat-control and timing challenges • Interactive first-level tutorial • Educational Tea Book entries • Calm low-poly hyper-casual visuals • Satisfying animations, sound effects, and haptic feedback • Responsive layouts for iPhone and iPad • Local progress saving • Complete offline gameplay Tea Paths is easy to understand, relaxing to explore, and increasingly demanding to master. Observe the recipe, plan every connection, rotate carefully, and watch your workshop come alive. Every tea begins with one leaf. Only the path decides its destiny. Can you master all six?
