Teas
Black:
Black tea leaves are allowed to fully oxidize before being processed and dried, which makes the leaves dark brown and gives the tea its signature bold and brisk flavor profile.Chai:
Sweet and spicy tea renowned for its fragrant aroma. Chai tea is made from a combination of black tea, ginger, and other spices.Chamomile:
Chamomile has gentle notes of apple, and there is a mellow, honey-like sweetness in the cup. It has a silky mouthfeel and yet remains a clean, delicately floral herbal tea, and even from the very first sip it feels wonderfully soothing.Doman:
An after-supper beverage naturally sweetened with dried persimmons. Widely popular in the Far East.Ginger:
Ginger tea is a combination of ginger root and boiling water. It has been used in Far Eastern medicine for centuries and is known for its potential health benefits like quelling nausea and reducing inflammation.Green:
Green tea is made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its dried leaves and leaf buds are used to make several different teas, including black and oolong teas.Ishgardian:
Rather than adding milk to boiling water that has been infused with tea leaves, as is the fashion in lower Eorzea, Ishgardian tea is brewed by boiling yak milk and letting dried Coerthan tea leaves steep right into the hot liquid.Jasmine:
Jasmine tea is a type of tea that is lightly scented with fresh jasmine blossoms, which impart a delicate floral flavor to the tea. Jasmine tea often has a green tea base, but you can also enjoy white, black, and oolong jasmine-scented teas.Matcha:
Matcha is a high-grade green tea ground into powdered form. The green tea powder is whisked into hot water, instead of steeped, to form a frothy drink.Oolong:
Oolong tea is made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its dried leaves and leaf buds are used to make several different teas, including black and green teas.Peppermint:
Peppermint leaves contain several essential oils that are released when steeped in hot water, including menthol, menthone and limonene. Collectively, these give peppermint tea its refreshing, cooling, minty taste.
Coffee
Cappuccino:
A cappuccino is the perfect balance of espresso, steamed milk and foam. This coffee is all about the structure and the even splitting of all elements into equal thirds.Espresso:
Espresso is a concentrated form of coffee served in small, strong shots and is the base for many coffee drinks. It's made from the same beans as coffee but is stronger, thicker, and higher in caffeine.Pour Over:
The pour over method involves pouring hot water through coffee grounds in a filter. The water drains through the coffee and filter into a carafe or mug.
Treats:

Acorn Cookies:
Soft-baked cookies using Iron Acorns harvested in Gridania.
Apple Tart:
Sweet Faerie Apples and spices baked inside a flaky pastry crust.
Walnut Bread:
A soft white bread filled with fragrant walnuts, finished with a cinnamon swirl.

Name: Nehvir Winter
Age: 23
Occupation: Currently working for the Scions, bouncer at Hypnotiq nightclub, and bartender at the Bee's Knees.
RP: Still new but always willing to learn more.
Personality: A bubbly bunny to say the least but definitely a bit on the naïve side. Loves shiny things whether they be Gil, MGP, or clothes. Cannot turn down a triple triad match and tends to be a little bit of a reckless gambler. Still trying to find her way in this new world she finds herself in. Oh and she despises most Lalafels as she can't stand them trying to look up her skirt!
Name: Nyrasil "Nyra" Liadune
Age: 26
Pronouns: They/She
Orientation: Lesbian/Demisexual
Homeland: Azim Steppe/Othard
Preferred Job/Skills: Monk, Pressure Points
Occupation: General Adventurer, practitioner of martial arts around the world.
Personality: Nyra possesses a pride equal to some dragons out there, and never backs down from a challenge. She is fiercely loyal and will always help her friends when they're needed. She can be socially oblivious sometimes but otherwise is polite to everyone she meets.
Name: Avaeliin Adair
Age: 33
Pronouns: She/Her
Orientation: Lesbian/Demisexual
Homeland: Born and raised for a few years of her life in the street of Ul’dah, she barely remembers any of it. As a teenager she joined the Marauders in Limsa Lominsa, and after several years there found her true home in Gridania, joining the Wood Wailers before the Battle of Carteneau.
Occupation: Formerly a wandering bard turned forbidden knowledge and dark magic enthusiast, as well as bar owner and infrequent DJ. Recent Stadium Graduate despite her age.
Preferred Jobs: Avaeliin can do whatever is required but lately prefers to bounce between BLM and SGE. Accomplished MCH and BRD.
RP Friendly: Yes - WU/T with tags, will RP without tag with people she knows. Will also RP via the FFXIV Companion App.
Personality: Avaeliin can be bubbly and open with people she knows, but when in mixed or new company, she prefers to hang back and get a sense of the group and as such often comes across as shy and reserved and in some cases standoffish with people who don’t know her. She can be direct to a fault sometimes, but has a bad habit of dancing around uncomfortable subjects with those she cares about. Fiercely loyal to her friends and extremely devoted to those close to her, Avaeliin spent many years avoiding forming relationships following the Battle of Carteneau and has only recently been opening up, having found closeness, companionship, and love where she doubted there was any to be found.
Birth Name: Ume'mi Mol
Preferred Name: Umi
Age: 22
Orientation: Panromantic Bisexual
Homeland: Azim Steppe, Othard
Birthplace: Sui no Sato, Ruby Sea
Pronouns: She/Her
RP: Yes; SFW && NSFW. WU/T Friendly. Para-preferred, Casual Welcome. Discord RP available to friends, and upon request.Backstory: Raised as a part of the Mol tribe in the Steppes, Ume'mi grew up alongside Cirina Mol as an adopted sister, and their temperaments matched through childhood and teenage years. However, when she went through her first molt, a couple of white scales appeared out of no where and uprooted everything she thought was. With her entire world view suddenly tilted on it's axis, what had once been a meek and fragile Au Ra girl developed into a hard-earned fighter and Warrior of the Steppes, then left her home in hopes of figuring out her true origins.Personality: Friendly, but shy. Fierce and serious when in battle. When she heals, un-haughty confidence in her profession radiates off of her. Easily startled, as well as overwhelmed, when in huge crowds and attention is on her. She dons 'Personas' well, but that's a double edged blade in truth. All in all, Umi is a sweet, caring girl who might fumble the ball sometimes, but if you need healing of any kind, or someone to watch your back, she'll always do her best to not let you, or anyone else, down.
