We had Elf Tea feature in our game; made from a blue flower. I'm not sure if it was the creation of a referee, or from the plants mentioned in The Garden section of The Rubble, certainly in the Moon Design Pavis & Rubble reprint. However as a fabulaously rare and expensive brew favoured by Dara Happan nobles of immense wealth and exquisite taste, it is favoured over mere gold and gems as a near priceless treasure in our game.
