The Tea Sapling is a seed that takes 20 days to grow into a Tea Bush. A Tea Bush 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 are planted like Trees by placing them onto untilled soil or into Garden Pots. 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.

A 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 2-Heart event.

Tea Sapling Cheat Help

Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.

Spawn Using Animal Name

To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [251]. You will then receive the Tea Sapling item.

Spawn Using Character Name

Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.

However, if you opt for this method, name your character [251] while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Tea Sapling item.
