Characteristics
Overview
A basic harvesting tea, provides hydration and temporarily increases the amount of resources you receive from harvesting corpses a small amount.
Drink it right before you start skinning. Its game text says it raises the resources you get from harvesting corpses by a small amount for a while, so meat, fat, bone and leather come off each carcass in slightly bigger piles. It quenches some thirst too, which helps far from a river.
The catch is that the boost runs out. Picture a hunting loop along a forest edge: you shoot a deer, hear a boar, and then a wolf pack shows up. Drink at the first body and the tea works on all of them. Drink at base before a long walk, and there may be little left by the time you pull the knife.
Brew it at the Mixing Table from berries. It is the first rung of the ladder: several basic cups mix into an Advanced Harvesting Tea, which promises a moderate boost instead of a small one.
Tip
The tea adds to whatever your tool already gets. Skin with a combat knife, not a rock or a stone hatchet, or you are boosting a poor yield.
