Shairi, the Imperial tea artisan, operates the Imperial Tea House located in Cyrene's Imperial Gardens. She has various specialty teas available and is even willing to create a custom blend for an additional fee.

Shairi is a human woman that is slight of build. She has auburn hair that is always tied up into a tight bun as to not interfere with her work as she brews her tea. Her youthful eyes and energetic smile are an indication of one who loves their craft.

Custom Blends

These teas can be modified with various additional flavours for a nominal fee.

House Specialities

Black tea (mug of strongly spiced black tea and milk) - 250gp
A pot-bellied mug, filled to the brim with a milky tea, is steeped with warming spices. Ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom waft gently to your nose when you inhale the vapours. The vessel, substantial and sturdy, holds the heat in the liquid, making it a optimal hand warmer. A slight whiff of a more subtle scent of honey adds a finishing touch.
Tea (tall mug of iced red tea with muddled blueberries) - 250gp
Fat blueberries have been muddled into a smooth paste and then topped with iced red tea, creating a cloudy and ruddy beverage, with pieces of the fruit stuck to the ice and the walls of the mug.
Lemonade (glass of fizzy lemonade and black tea) - 250gp
Some of Sir Lance's famous fizzy lemonade has been blended with a strong black tea to produce a delightful blended beverage. Served in a tall square-sided glass with just enough ice to keep the beverage optimally chilled while consumed, this is the ultimate treat for a hot summer's day.
Jasmine tea (glass of sparkling jasmine tea) - 250gp
Tea brewed from lightly fermented camellia leaves from the Imperial gardens has been mixed with a naturally effervescent pear cider. Served in a tall round fluted glass, the translucent beverage shines with a brilliant golden hue in the sun, as if promising to slake even the greatest thirst.
Herbal tea (elegant flute of iced white tea with orange peel) - 250gp
Tall and slender, this flute has no stem, but instead the glass flares out at the top giving the impression of drinking from a large flower. Pristine white tea has been infused with orange flowers and steeped with the zest of the same fruit, the oils complementing the subtle notes of the tea.
