In *Wanderstop* by Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter who now manages a tranquil tea shop nestled in a magical forest. As Alta seeks rest and recovery, the tea shop attracts a diverse array of customers, some of whom request coffee, an item not typically on the menu. Here’s a detailed guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
During the fourth cycle in *Wanderstop*, a stunning humanoid bird visits the shop, seeking a refined cup of tea. Following her departure, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, arrive. They are en route to a boardroom for a presentation but find themselves at the tea shop instead. Despite Alta's attempts to redirect them and her offer of tea, they insist on coffee, choosing to wait until it becomes available.
Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially frustrated. However, the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen, changes the situation. Unlike the businessmen, Zenith is willing to try Alta's tea, marking their first experience with a beverage other than coffee.

To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith using a valuable item, such as a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. After tasting the tea, Zenith becomes curious about the difference between coffee and tea and asks Alta what is needed to brew coffee for the businessmen. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks a revelation for Zenith.
Utilizing the Infinite Path, Zenith brings coffee beans to the forest, allowing them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans are then added to Alta’s Field Guide.
After Zenith's intervention, coffee beans begin to grow wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry them in your hand. They can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.
Before brewing, coffee beans must be cleaned. Place them in the dishwasher and wait for them to be delivered by the dish trains to the tea room. To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker, heat it if required, and then kick the gear to pour the water into the infuser. Only one bean is needed to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, kick the gear again to pour the coffee into the kettle below, and then decant it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta.
Serving coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also delights Zenith and provides an additional option for other customers. Even Boro is willing to give it a try, though he admits it's not to his taste.
That’s how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
