The Wandering Tea Garden
A downloadable game
You are the proud owner of a Wandering Tea Garden. More than just a garden, this is a Tea Shop, and your home. Your time is spent foraging from the variety of plants available as you travel, crafting new herbal infusions, serving customers and tending your garden.
This is a solo journaling RPG, a game designed to generate prompts for you to answer in as much or as little detail as you would like. All you need is two six-sided dice and your preferred method of journaling. The tables provided offer you six different locations to explore and a variety of prompts to answer. What story will you tell as you travel in your Wandering Tea Garden?

I once tried out this solo rpg journaling game as a break from work from home, and I liked it. It’s easy to play and to understand.
I even made use of NPCs from the expanded Wandering Library and other botanical game supplements for the tea garden. Great for people who like cozy tea making.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it! Can I ask, purely out of curiosity, what the other botanical supplements you used were? I love how people mix and match elements to make the game their own and unique!
BHAIRAVA’s Herbarium Sanctum. It has great illustrations.
Ooh fab, thanks! Will check it out. :)
What a very fun solo rpg game, and I loved the foraging list. I created my own a list of teas and brews made from the forage and used that in my playthroughs!
I loved this and would recommend this to anyone who loves rpgs, tea, and magical forage! (also thank you for choosing to add printer-friendly options for printouts - it really helps) <3
Aw yay I'm so glad you enjoyed the Tea Garden! Thank you for your kind words and am glad the printer-friendly versions were helpful too. Thanks again!
I really like the style and charm of your games, can I translate and collate this game into Russian?
Thank you! Yes no problem. :)
This is a great game. I had a lot of fun with it. I am a writer who used it as a prompt generator. I am going to put a link to the story I wrote using this game. I hope it gives you a good idea of how useful and fun this game is. I enjoyed my time in a traveling tea waggon and will be visiting it again. <3
The Tea Waggon.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it's been so helpful. And thank you for sharing your story! I'm glad to see you having fun with it and seeing how the prompts inspired you. :)
