36, 20, 82, 96, 45, 64 Lemongrass tea: Lemongrass is a soothing, refreshing vaguely lemony flavour. It is a grass grown in tropical locations and used in lots of oriental cooking.
Peppermint: A classic and common tea. Great for fighting colds. Peppermint has a cooling effect on the tongue. Not to be confused with spearmint which has a much sharper flavour. Peppermint itself is a hybrid species between spearmint and watermint. This herb can also be used in cooking, and is often extracted for its oils. It's common during the winter time and in seasonal desserts.
Ginger: Ginger tea is a powerful digestive aid. If you have an upset stomach or intestines, it's always a good idea to try drinking some ginger tea first! You don't need a lot of ginger, as the root can become quite spicy in large quantities. For the purposes of this class, Devanerus has candied the ginger to give it a sweeter flavour for his students, in case there is anyone with sensitivities to spice. Ginger comes from a yellow flowering plant and is made from the root.
Hibiscus: Hibiscus is a red tea that has a tangy, zingy flavour to it. It's quite a different flavour from the other teas sampled so far. It's actually a rather reinvigorating in taste. Hibiscus tea is made from the sepals of the hibiscus flower, and has many medicinal uses; aiding high blood pressure; cholesteral; liver; fighting cancer; and many more.
Lavender: Like hibiscus, lavender can be considered an overwhelming flavour to some. Those who dislike the flavour consider it 'soapy', while others find it's the only thing they can drink to help them sleep at night. The buds of the flower are used traditionally in tea. Lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties to it. It can help heal burns and bug bites, but you'll want to apply that in a cream to your skin for the best effect.
Chamomile: Another popular tea with a delicate flower. Much like lavender, it has a very calming, restorative property to it and can aid in relaxing you for sleep. People who are not fans of chamomile say that the flower can taste a little 'musty', but the flavour is so subtle and refined that it can also drink like a mildly flavoured water.
"Alright, class. Today we're going to introduce you to the wonders of herbal tea. Now, many traditionalists would argue that herbal teas are just fruit infusions. But, think about that for a moment -- all teas are an infusion. Just because a particular tea may not have a tea leaf in them does not make them -- in my humble opinion -- any less of a tea. You will find there is much diversity in herbal teas. Some have flowers and leaves of a different sort, and others are purely fruit. This week, I've isolated several different key herbal ingredients commonly used in many teas -- but especially herbals. Don't worry about oversteeping these guys! It's recommended you use over boiling water and let these herbs steep for a minimum of five minutes to infuse a nice flavour. You can, of course, let them steep for longer if you wish for a more bold flavour."
Rules 1. Roll 6 100 sided dice. Each die represents a tea, in order: white, green, oolong, rooibos, black, and mate. 2. If you roll below 10 on any of your rolls, your character does not favour the corresponding tea! Whether its because they steeped it incorrectly, or just dislike it, something doesn't taste right to them! 3. If you roll over 90 on any of your rolls, your character loves the corresponding tea! Either its just an exceptional cup of tea, brewed to perfection, or it's just their favourite tea! 4. Their is no pass or fail, so just have fun!
To make it easier, here's a guide to post for when you roll with clues on flavour types for your to easily reference and make responses to!

Lemongrass tea: Quartz waited patiently for the cup of tea to finish brewing, then lifted the steaming liquid to her lips and sniffed the steam. It was certainly fragrant. She found the lemony scent alone quite appealing. She took a cautious sip. The taste was like the smell, though a bit weaker. She rather enjoyed it though, and wondered how it might taste with addition of some fruit as well.
Peppermint: Quartz added the water to her peppermint tea before she sampled the lemongrass, so that it could seep while she drank the other tea. Like the lemongrass before it, the scent was the first thing Quartz registered. It was a delightful minty scent. She took a sip. The taste was just as strong as the smell. It was odd, having the cooling properties of mint in her mouth even though the liquid was hot! Quartz really enjoyed it, but thought that she might like the tea better if it were iced.
Ginger: Quartz poured water over the ginger in her cup and waited for it to brew. She kept her face over the cup while she waited, sniffing the steam. It didn't smell like anything at first, but gradually the scent became more and more pronounced. By the time the tea was finished she was quite eager to try it. It smelled amazing! She sipped at the tea, and was delighted with the taste. It was somehow spicy, but sweet. Probably because it was candied ginger. Quartz thought it was amazing, and found herself wondering how it might taste if the ginger wasn't candied.
Hibiscus: Quartz started seeping her next tea, hibiscus. She was a bit excited to try it, since she thought the flowers were lovely and wondered if the tea would taste just as lovely. She liked the smell well enough, but when she finally lifted the tea to her lips to try it she made a face. It wasn't....bad bad, but it most definitely was not what she'd been expecting! She couldn't tell if it was the taste itself or just that it wasn't the flavor she'd pictured in her mind that made her dislike it, but of all the teas she'd tried so far today it was probably her least favorite.
Lavender: Quartz eyed the next tea seeping nearby with a bit of caution. Like hibiscus she'd been excited to try the lavender, since she was fond of the flower, but she wondered if she was in for the same experience. She sniffed the steam carefully. It was pleasant, floral, but she wasn't sure if that would translate to the taste or not. Quartz picked up the cup and gave the tea a sip. Instantly she put it down, making a face. Yup, not good. It was actually almost...soapy. Oh well, the flower was lovely enough that she didn't think she'd miss the tea all that much. There were plenty of other things she could do with lavender.
Chamomile: Quartz picked up the last tea she had set to steeping and gave it a sniff. It was also a flower, but unlike the other two before it the smell wasn't as strong. She gave the tea a cautious sip, then another. It wasn't bad. It was actually kind of hard to pick out the flavor, she had to work at it. It probably wasn't something she'd drink just for the pleasure of it, unlike the ginger or peppermint teas, but it was definitely a lot more tolerable than the hibiscus or lavender!

Florence had always greatly enjoyed growing things and was a fair hand in the garden, so when he begun taking elective classes he'd been instantly drawn to tea culture, as a way to learn more about the things he could do with plants. He loved the class, and found himself growing interested in things besides just the organic aspect. Good thing too, since the quiz that got presented to the class that day had several questions that needed a bit of studying to get. Florence thought he did quite well on the quiz, but hopefully that wasn't just overconfidence on his part!

Eirian ended up guessing at a lot of the question on the tea test, she figured a class on tea would be about making tea, or drinking tea, not about information on tea. She did the best she could and handed her test into the teacher. Then she flopped back in her chair this would make 4 extra classes that she needed to finish the academy. She was really tired and ready to head back to her dorm room and maybe make herself a cup of tea. She was really in the mood for one after all the work she did to get this far.

Natsumi was happy to take the tea class, she thought the information she learned was really neat. She took the test as best she could but she didn't remember all of the answers. She had fun taking the class anyway and intended to drink more tea after taking this class perhaps learn more about tea just for the fun of it. She wondered how many types of tea there were and if they could hold magical properties. Also, tea seemed like a good way for her to relax after dance practice. She went then and handed her test into the teacher and packed her things up.

Arcadia felt pretty confident in most of her answers, a few really had her stumped, she found the subject of tea so calming, and felt the art of tea making and drinking a great way to wind down. This class was like heaven to her, a class dedicated to the serenity of the perfect drink!

Jacintha was beginning to really take in all this stuff about tea culture well, believing she had done amazing on the test with the very little studying she had done. She might not like the taste of tea as she learned as a junior, but she knew a lot about it now at the very least. There was so much to learn, and she was taking it all in so well! Maybe one day she would get acquainted well enough to like tea, but right now just knowing the facts was enough for her. Maybe if she experimented with more exotic teas she would find one she liked better?

Raa took in a slow, deep breath and sighed heavily. Tests on a topic he wasn't very familiar about where always nerve wracking ... so taxing on his nerves, even, that even though there was no way to fail the test he still pulled out his phone and used it to cheat on a few answers ... he really did give it the good ol' college try first, though.

Castiel did his best. His dad Aten loved tea, but Castiel wasn't this knowledgeable on the subject ... it made him a touch nervous ...

Laviticus enjoyed making tea for his loved ones, almost as much as he loved dancing. So when he heard they were running a new class called 'Tea Culture' he just HAD to sign up for it. Laviticus stuck with it even in to senior year and learned way more about tea than he had ever anticipated.

If Ophelia was honest (and she at least tried to be honest with herself), she thought a class on Tea Culture might have been about drinking tea. But it wasn't. Well, not just drinking tea anyway. She had enjoyed the class and filled out the quest to the best of her knowledge.

Kitalpha had thoroughly enjoyed learning about tea culture. The class had been both interesting and relaxing and she was happy to say she knew the answers to the questions on the test. Perhaps she would have to add a daily tea ritual to her day, just to take a break.
Wren decided to take tea class since he wanted to open a bed and breakfast when he was old enough he wanted to know how to cook and how to serve tea to his guests. Wren wanted to be a good host. So he sat down to take his test on tea hoping he had studied enough to pass the test. Wren started trying to answer the questions, but many were rather strange and confusing he did his best though hoping it would be enough since Wren wanted to move on with his life some day soon, he didn't want to be a junior forever. 
Eirian ended up guessing at a lot of the question on the tea test, she figured a class on tea would be about making tea, or drinking tea, not about information on tea. She did the best she could and handed her test into the teacher. Then she flopped back in her chair this would make 4 extra classes that she needed to finish the academy. She was really tired and ready to head back to her dorm room and maybe make herself a cup of tea. She was really in the mood for one after all the work she did to get this far. 
Natsumi was happy to take the tea class, she thought the information she learned was really neat. She took the test as best she could but she didn't remember all of the answers. She had fun taking the class anyway and intended to drink more tea after taking this class perhaps learn more about tea just for the fun of it. She wondered how many types of tea there were and if they could hold magical properties. Also, tea seemed like a good way for her to relax after dance practice. She went then and handed her test into the teacher and packed her things up. 
Jacintha was beginning to really take in all this stuff about tea culture well, believing she had done amazing on the test with the very little studying she had done. She might not like the taste of tea as she learned as a junior, but she knew a lot about it now at the very least. There was so much to learn, and she was taking it all in so well! Maybe one day she would get acquainted well enough to like tea, but right now just knowing the facts was enough for her. Maybe if she experimented with more exotic teas she would find one she liked better? 
Jonah went into the tea culture class he read the book and took the test, he was kinda hoping to drink tea, not take a test on tea but no matter it was fine. 
Aiday sat down to take her test on tea, she had spent a lot of time studying for the test, so she wasn't worried about getting any of the answers wrong she knew she would be fine.
