Tea is a usually hot beverage made from boiling water and herbs. It is a fairly popular drink in Ninjago, with Master Wu being especially fond of it.

A tea shop in Ninjago City sells several varieties of tea, including some with special properties.

History

Way of the Ninja

As a test, Kai had to complete the obstscles in Wu's monastary before he finished his tea. Before he succeeded after many days of attempts, Kai made Wu spill his tea by throwing his wooden sword at it.

The Golden Weapon

Master Wu was shown to be drinking tea when he recruited each of the Ninja, with the exception of Kai.

Tick Tock

In the wake of Lloyd being captured by the Serpentine, Master Wu visited Mistaké's tea shop to purchase some Traveler's Tea. He later used it to travel to Lord Garmadon's Dimension.

The Royal Blacksmiths

When the Ninja went to visit Cole's father, Lou, the latter made a pot of lemon-honey tea for the visitors while he asked about his son's recent activities.

All of Nothing

When the Ninja and Nya infiltrated the Serpentine's Underground Fortress, a battle erupted between the Ninja and the snakes for control of the Four Silver Fangblades. During the battle, Master Wu mainly observed his pupils' progress from the shoulder of the Samurai Mech and enjoyed a cup of tea. When a Venomari Scout tried to climb on the mech, Master Wu poured hot tea on his head.

The Rise of the Great Devourer

While fighting the Serpentine atop the Serpentine Train, Chokun climbed onto Nya's Samurai Mech. Instead of fighting, Master Wu offered some tea to the Constrictai Soldier—when the cup was full, he punched Chokun off the Samurai Mech and deftly caught the cup without spilling a drop.

Day of the Great Devourer

During the escape from the Great Devourer, Kai threw Master Wu's teapot off the Destiny's Bounty to try and increase its speed. Lord Garmadon was later seen ordering Traveler's Tea from Mistaké, but abandoned it when he saw the Ninja battling the Great Devourer on television. After the Great Devourer's destruction, Master Wu found his teapot amid its remains, commenting that the tea was still hot.

Child's Play

Once Master Wu and Nya heard of the Grundle situation from Lloyd's message, Master Wu decided to visit Mistaké for Tomorrow's Tea. With the tea in their possession, the pair hurried to the comic store where the Grundle was spotted, finding it menacing the de-aged Ninja. Lloyd used the tea to reverse the de-aging magic that revived the Grundle and reduced his friends to children, but was also aged to teenage years due to being caught in the "explosion" of the tea.

The Last Voyage

At Dr. Julien's Lighthouse Prison, he explained a flashback about his death. When Zane questioned why he is alive as he used his memory switch to remember the death of his father, he explained that what Zane did not see was Samukai reviving him with Resurrectea, hoping that he'll build weapons and vehicles for his army.

The Void

Taking refuge in Garmadon's Monastery, Nya, Garmadon, and Wu were served tea by Misako.

The Greatest Fear of All

Pythor made some tea while he's held captive in Kryptarium Prison.

Winds of Change

Following the loss of his brother, Wu retired as a master and opened a tea shop called Steep Wisdom at Garmadon's Monastery. He instructed all the other Ninja to advertise the tea shop.

Ghost Story (Flashback)

While showing Morro a kite, Wu's tea kettle start to whistle. After checking it, he came back with a cup of tea, surprised to find out Morro is the Master of the Wind.

Curseworld, Part I

When Master Wu and the Ninja returned to Steep Wisdom, the Ninja were surprised to see that the land was no longer theirs. They learned that Wu sold his business to Cyrus Borg for more advanced vehicles to help them defeat Morro and the ghost army.

A Time of Traitors

Misako gave Master Wu Focus Tea to help with his drowsiness. Noticing Lloyd has something going on in his mind, Wu suggests he have some too.

The Attack

When she was attacked by a Vermillion, Misako threw a tea pot at the warrior.

Wu's Teas (Non-canon)

Wu opened a new tea shop called Steeper Wisdom.

The Oni and the Dragon

Lloyd, Jay, Zane and Cole purchase the Tea of Truth from Mistaké before they question Luke Cunningham at the police station, but Lloyd sees a painting of the Oni and the Dragon and has Cole and Zane go while he and Jay stay behind to listen to the tale where they were given the Tea of Enlightenment. At the station, Zane had the tea poured in a cup as well as had a regular cup of tea for Cole. But after a little incident with a suspect, Cole accidentally drinks the Tea of Truth while questioning Cunningham.

Dead Man's Squall

When Nya questioned what Cole was feeding the Baby, he answered tea, as the baby won't drink anything else. Nya scolded him, telling him that babies shouldn't be having tea.

The Quiet One

The baby, after a growth spurt, drank some tea and said the Ninja's motto, allowing them to realize he is Master Wu.

Game of Masks

When Nya told Toddler Wu to grab the keys to their chains, he mistook the word for tea and drinks from the kettle after being told the actual word.

Big Trouble, Little Ninjago

Mistaké gave Lloyd some tea to help heal him after his battle with Garmadon. Later, she gave the Ninja a bag of tea. They used it right when Colossus was about to crush the Bounty and realized, after ending up in the Realm of Oni and Dragons, that it was Traveler's Tea.

Iron & Stone

After Mistaké explains to Lloyd the Ninja are in the Realm of Oni and Dragons, she gave him Earl Gray to clear his mind.

How to Build a Dragon

After Dareth begged Mistaké for a tea that can give him powers, she agreed.

Unknown Teas

In "The Oni and the Dragon," Zane gave Cole a cup of tea. The name of this tea and its effects, if any, is unknown. It looks exactly like the Tea of Truth.

In "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago," Mistaké gives Lloyd a cup of tea that heals injuries.

In "How to Build a Dragon," Mistaké gave Dareth a whole cauldron of tea that can give him powers. However, it tastes bad, he has to drink the whole thing, and he has to relieve himself often.
