forestofglorySometimes when I'm drifting off to sleep I think about fic I have no intention of ever writing. Mostly I forget about it by morning. (I used to do this even before I was into fanfic I just thought about it differently)
So last night I was thinking about an Untamed teahouse AU. Somewhere I saw people talking about how it would fun if coffee shop AUs but we kept the same setting rather than moving to a modern coffee shop. So all the sects run teahouses in ancient magical China.
But then I decided that they should serve magical tea. And that each sect should have its own specially. So here are all the tea specialties I came up with.
The Nightless City teahouse: tea that's very good at keeping you awake but controls your mind when you aren't paying attention
Meanwhile The Dafun Mountain Wens have a very run down teahouse but they serve the best healing teas
Cloud Recesses Teahouse: some very good calming tea and also tea that will help you study
The Yet Clean Teahouse: tea that helps you get stronger but makes you angrier
Lotus Pier teahouse: Impossible tea, which bosts your luck and your confidence and luck
Koi Tower: tea to help you get make money and/or tea to help you do well in social situations
The Burial Mounds would be an underground bar. And everyone would be horrified that WWX had given up the true path of tea to serve liquor instead
So what do you think? Do those kinds of teas make sense? What would you add?

But there could definitely be bubble tea in the urban fantasy version of this! I love the idea of Wen Ning serving bubble tea!
