Get the green powder before its window closes

This starts after Alexandra has arrived and the carriage payment is settled. Leave the cat untouched while collecting the tea.

  1. Collect tea before touching the cat

    Take the tea leaves in the servant’s room.

  2. Feed tea, then collect glue

    Give the leaves to the cat. Only afterward click it to obtain the sticky substance used as glue.

  3. Collect the green powder

    Look in the wooden crate behind Alexandra and take the green powder.

    Checkpoint: Glue and the optional green ingredient are ready.

Feeding the tea first creates this optional ingredient; simply collecting the cat’s glue is the ordinary route and can miss it.

Serve the green-powder tea

  1. Collect the normal serving items

    Get sugar from Kate and tea/hot water in the servant’s room. Collect the cup from the cabinet near Aldous’s room. Keep the goat milk from the garden.

  2. Include the green powder

    Give Alexandra the cup, then add tea leaves, hot water, goat milk and the green powder. The powder is an addition; it does not replace the tea leaves.

  3. Repair the rejected cup

    The ordinary Serving Tea sequence includes her rejecting a cup that is not sweet enough. Fit the broken pieces together and apply the cat’s sticky glue.

  4. Finish the accepted serving

    Serve the repaired cup with tea, hot water and milk, include the green powder for the optional drink, and add sugar twice.

    Checkpoint: Check Serving Matcha Latte in the achievement list. Alexandra’s accepted tea opens the route into the living room.

The optional reward and the normal task are separate checks: the green-powder serving concerns Matcha Latte, while her acceptance of the properly sweetened tea advances Serving Tea. Giving one sugar portion is not the final accepted recipe.

If the green powder is missing

If you made the cat cough up glue before giving it tea, do not keep searching unrelated cabinets for powder. Complete the normal tea task and revisit Day 1 Evening · Serving Tea through the notebook after finishing the game. Repeat the tea-to-cat interaction before collecting glue in that replay.

After the accepted serving, continue to Opening the Reunion. Later coffee and the elixir use different recipes and are not alternate ways to unlock this tea achievement.
