Sips and Sonnets

Sips and Sonnets is a visual novel about Ms. Meadows, a former journalist who opens a tea boutique in a quiet English town using her modest savings. With no family and few customers, she spends her days listening to the stories of people who visit. Each night, after a nurse arrives to administer her medication, Ms. Meadows draws on those encounters to write a poem.

Life in the tea shop

You play as Ms. Meadows, make different kinds of tea and learn about them as you go. You chat with customers from all walks of life, and your daily conversations provide inspiration for her poems. Being nice is not optional.

The game is fully voice acted, with Bethan Dixon Bate, who has worked on Baldur's Gate 3, and Lenval Brown, who has worked on Disco Elysium. It also features an original soundtrack.
