One Basic Scrap Tea gives 30 hydration and a scrap yield boost for 30 minutes.
Mixing Table recipe
Yellow Berry×1
White Berry×1
Yellow Berry×1
White Berry×15s per batch, yields 1
Also mixes on 
Cooking Workbench
The order is part of the recipe. The table checks slot 1 against the first ingredient, slot 2 against the second, and so on, and stops at the first empty slot: the same ingredients in another order make nothing.
Put more of the same in every slot to mix several batches in one go. Each extra batch adds 5s.
| Tea | Boost | + Bear Pie | + Rich Bear Pie |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Basic Scrap Tea, lasts 30 min | +100% | +150% | +175% |
Advanced Scrap Tea, lasts 45 min | +225% | +337.5% | +393.8% |
Pure Scrap Tea, lasts 60 min | +350% | +525% | +612.5% |
Milky Pure Scrap Tea, lasts 90 min | +350% | +525% | +612.5% |
Creamy Pure Scrap Tea, lasts 48 min | +450% | +675% | +787.5% |
The boost multiplies the scrap a crate or barrel hands you when you loot it. Fractions carry over to the next container.
One scrap tea runs at a time: drinking a second one replaces whichever has less time left. A tea of another kind runs alongside it.
Bear Pie and Rich Bear Pie multiply the boost of an active ore, wood, scrap or harvesting tea. With no tea running there is nothing for them to multiply.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Basic Scrap Tea, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Food Cache | 18.4% | 1 to 6 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.
