Mint Tea — Sanity Recovery Item

What Is Mint Tea

Mint Tea is a new Supplies Shop consumable from the Harlow's Favorite Update July 10–12, 2026. Purchase price listed at $100 in community patch notes. On use, it heals Sanity over time for a few seconds rather than instant burst like Coffee sips.

Dr. Harlow's refreshed dialogue in the same patch mentions loving mint tea — flavor link between character lore and shop item. Not a code reward; bought with Animal Coins between Shifts.

Mint Tea complements existing Sanity economy: Coffee for steady sips, Chocolate for burst panic, Mint Tea for gradual recovery during brief safe windows.

How to Buy Mint Tea

Open Supplies Shop between Shifts at hub terminal. Mint Tea appears post-July 10 patch alongside existing Coffee and Chocolate. $100 price sits between budget Coffee restocks and premium Chocolate — budget one cup per inter-Shift on Shift 7+ teams.

No Robux shortcut documented for Mint Tea July 2026 — Animal Coins from completed Shifts fund purchase.

Stock before Shift 10 marathon when Liz quests and low Sanity visual effects intensify pressure.

When to Use Mint Tea

Best during lulls between patient waves when you can stand still safely — over-time heal wastes value if jumpscare or Ghost contact interrupts. Poor choice during Ambulance bay sprint or Skinwalker chase.

Pair with hide-Barney second coffee machine: Coffee for instant desk recovery, Mint Tea for runner returning from Room 8 after surgery drain.

Psychologist class doubles Sanity effects — Mint Tea over-time may amplify gains and risks; expert lobbies only.

Mint Tea vs Coffee

Coffee: ~5 Sanity per sip, three sips per machine, hub staple every Shift. Mint Tea: gradual heal over seconds, single consumable inventory slot, higher per-use coin cost than bulk Coffee strategy.

F2P priority unchanged: Coffee stock first, Camera Upgrade, Fire Extinguisher, then experiment Mint Tea on Shift 9+ wipes caused by slow Sanity bleed.

Barney hide second machine still outvalues Mint Tea spam for marathon runs — Mint Tea is supplement not replacement.

Co-op Loadout Tips

Runner carrying Mint Tea for left-wing surgery return; desk player keeps Coffee. One Security Taser for Ghost cleanup July meta.

Announce consumable use on voice so teammates do not open Shutter during heal channel if mechanics lock movement.

Nurse extra inventory slot helps carry Mint Tea plus Coffee without dropping Extinguisher.

Dr. Harlow and Mint Tea

July 2026 Dr. Harlow model and waiting-area dialogue reference exhaustion, long shifts, and mint tea preference. Item naming reinforces character story — not hidden quest unlock.

See characters/dr-harlow for full dialogue summary. Liz journalist quests may reference corporate cover-ups parallel to Harlow guilt arc.
