Tea Pan

A Tea Pan is a tool used to sun-dry tea. It is placed on the ground in a suitable environment, and Tea Leaves are added by right clicking. This tool is slower then the Drying Pan but doesn't require Iron Ingots to make or Flint and Steel to use. The Tea Pan is also the only tool of the two that can make Half Dried Tea Leaves.

Indoors, it can be used to for fermantation.

Crafting
A Tea Pan is made from 5 Sticks and 4 Planks.

Drying
To make Black Tea Leaves, the Tea Pan needs to be outside.

Add Fresh Tea Leaves to the pan and leave them to dry. Right-clicking on the Tea Pan will show how much time is left. This will vary depending on the environment. See Temperature and Humidity Requirements.

After one drying cycle, the leaves will become Half-dried Tea Leaves. Leaving them longer will cause the timer will reset and the leaves will become Dried Tea Leaves.

Fermenting
To make Black Tea Leaves, the Tea Pan needs to be inside.

Add Half-dried Tea Leaves to the pan and leave them to ferment. Right-clicking on the Tea Pan will show how much time is left. This will vary depending on the environment. See Temperature and Humidity Requirements.

Once the Half-dried Tea Leaves have become Black Tea Leaves, the timer will reset and the leaves will undergo a second fermentation. This will produce Pu'er Tea Leaves.
