The '''Tea Sapling''' is a seed that takes 20 days to grow into a [[Tea Bush]], after which it produces one [[Tea Leaves]] item each day of the final week (days 22-28) of [[Spring]], [[Summer]], and [[Fall]] (and [[Winter]] if indoors). Tea Saplings do not need to be watered in order to grow.

Tea Saplings are planted like [[Trees]] by placing them onto untilled soil or into [[Garden Pot]]s. They do not need to be watered in order to grow. Tea Saplings will not die and will even grow if planted outside in winter.

The Tea Sapling can be purchased from the [[Traveling Cart]], though not often. Otherwise, it must be crafted. The crafting recipe is received via mail the day after [[Caroline]]'s [[Caroline#Heart Events|2-Heart]] event.

*Crafting and selling a Tea Sapling is more profitable than selling its ingredients.  The exact profit depends on the source of the Wild Seeds but is typically between {{price|300}} and {{price|400}}.

*Crafting and selling a Tea Sapling is always more profitable than selling its ingredients.  The exact profit depends on the source of the Wild Seeds but is typically between {{price|75}} and {{price|200}}. Using less profitable forage is more profitable for making Tea Saplings.

*Tea Saplings can also be used as a substitute for fences, as the saplings are impassable and never wear out.

*The Wild Seeds used for crafting do not have to be from the same season.
