Sovereign Tea

Sovereign Tea is a grid-based strategy game in which 12 Tea Princesses defend their independent realms from the invading Coffee Empire. You gather resources and brew Tea Minions, then choose nine brews for each level and use their abilities to counter the enemy.

The Tea Realms

Before the Old War, the Tea Princesses ruled their realms separately, each governing by her own virtue. The Coffee Regents unified their lands into the Coffee Empire, led by the Coffee Emperor, who raised mighty armies and began a campaign of conquest. With their domains splintered and on the brink, the Tea Princesses set out to reclaim their homelands.

Brew and battle

Tea Minions are expendable forces that require resources to brew. Some cost as little as one tea leaf, while others need additional ingredients such as blueberries or raspberries. Each minion has its own stats and abilities, and different brews can give you an advantage against particular Coffee Minions.

Raspberry-brewed units tend to trigger their abilities when hit, making them useful against multi-hit enemies. Blueberry-brewed units usually trigger to deal heavy damage, so you can use them where enemies have no choice but to fight. Each Tea Princess also gives her minions a distinct power: Silver Needle specializes in fast but fragile assassins for territorial control, Shou Mei strengthens their healing, and Chamomile can disable enemies for a turn with sleep-inducing brews. Strategies that work in one level may not work in another, so you must choose your approach to each fight.

Princesses and levels

The 12 playable Tea Princesses are divided into four teams: White Teas, Green Teas, Herbal Teas and Black Teas. The game has 25 replayable levels, and you select nine brews from your available minions for each one.
