Characteristics
Overview
A basic tea that provides hydration and temporarily increases your resistance to radiation a small amount.
You drink it on the walk in. The tea raises your resistance to radiation for a while, so a short loop through a lightly irradiated monument costs you less before you own a proper suit. Its own description is modest about it: a small amount, temporary, plus some water in your stomach.
Day one of a wipe is where it earns its place. You have a cloth outfit, a bow and a handful of berries from the bushes near your base. Brewed at the Mixing Table, they turn into a tea that buys you a few crates before radiation starts eating your health. It does not turn cloth into a hazmat suit, though, and the hottest rooms stay off limits.
Watch out
This tea only protects. Radiation you already carry is not touched by it; for that you want a Rad. Removal Tea. Mixing the two up on the way home is the classic newcomer mistake.
Once you run monuments every day, grow your berries in a large planter box by the table. A few basic teas then go back in and come out as an Advanced Anti-Rad Tea, which the game says protects a moderate amount instead of a small one.
