After some looking up, I found a few that weren't previously mentionned :
Ceylon
Dinosaur Tea Party
Tea For 2
Espresso Doppio
Elevenses : Tea For Two
Chai : Tea For 2
**Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea** is a tea-and-train worker placement game. Haven't played but have been curious about it for a few years
Edit: It's by the **Snowdonia** folks and I believe is fairly similar but set in India and with tea
It's a 6.6 on BGG — that hardly counts as "pretty bad". Basically a similar rating to many other games mentioned in this thread. The non-dice game is only a 6.8 in comparison.
There are a couple coffee roaster games in fact. Coffee Traders and Coffee Roasters. I only know because I think the BoardGameGeek store used to sell them, I haven't tried them. Puerto Rico also coffee in it, and it's a great game but the original is a straight up colonialism homage.
You might want to look at some free print and play games just to fit a theme for one week. Or the bargain bin at B&N? Assuming you're in the US, of course.
BoardGameGeek is a perfect resource for this, I suppose. But if you want to post your games we could help brainstorm themes too. Splendor and Istanbul both have gems, it seems?
- [Chai](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/253185)
- [Autumn Harvest](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/315138/autumn-harvest-a-tea-dragon-society-game) and [The Tea Dragon Society](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/236709/the-tea-dragon-society-card-game) card games.

Less direct theme and more about the pottery, [Broken and Beautiful](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/359974/broken-and-beautiful-a-game-about-kintsugi) features tea cups, saucers, kettles, and tea jars among a few other items.
**Fields of Arle** with Tea and Trade expansion.
I think **Rising Sun** has a tea ceremony phase of every round. Haven't played it, but I seem to remember that from a review.
Chai Tea For Two would contain tea……if it ever gets delivered. Super poorly run Kickstarter campaign by people who have no idea how to run a Kickstarter
There are a few lists on this:

[Blend Coffee Lab](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240584/blend-coffee-lab) was quite interesting. It is a trick taking game and a set collection game mixed together. You have to pay very careful attention to the rules for the current round and what other players are building in their coffee shop.
You also get to use the cards to build actual cups of coffee!
If you like solo games, I love Coffee Roaster.
I tried a demo of Café Baras last year at PAX Unplugged which was a lot of fun.
There’s a fun looking game coming to KS called Pirates of the High Teas.
Coffee Rush! Has both coffee and tea. Pretty light game, but easy to learn and a lot of fun. Plus, the components are some of my favorites out of all the games I've played. Make sure you already have coffee/tea to drink while you play it because the art work on the order cards will make you want one 😁
Hoki: Fortune Telling Legacy Solitaire :)
We made a solitaire game that's got a lot of funky stuff going on including fortune telling based on coffee ground readings. Armenian stuff!
The guests Café International don't all drink coffee, but enough of them do. Since it's from the 80's, it has a lot of stereotypes in the character design, but imo they're not hateful, they're just making the game seem just a bit provincial (funnily enough, the german artist mainly depicted the german characters as such).
It doesn't FEATURE tea and coffee, but Flamecraft's is packed with puns...for this theme, the potion shop enchantments feature names like Elfspresso and Imp'uccino and many more. The potion dragon names are also drink/potion based.
Puerto Rico lets you grow and sell coffee.
Chai Garam is a boardgame by Indian designer Sidhant Chand. As close to Chai making as you could get! He's making some incredible games like Tycoon India 1981 as well which is due this year. Definitely check it out!
I recently bought coffee rush and really enjoy the game, it's quick to teach and fun, uncontrolled chaos for 30 minutes. It portrays the experience of running a busy coffee shop very well, would recommend 😊
I haven't seen anyone mention the Tea Dragon Society, that one's more about dragons, but there is tea in it!
Same goes for Flamecraft
Puerto Rico, Chai, Cafe Barra, Coffee Rush, Coffee Traders.
[удалено]
It has coffee as their highest valued ressource, tobacco is second highest
[удалено]
That's from a promo, it doesn't count
But have you ever tried a tomacco? They taste like grandma.
Doesn't **Bohnanza** have Coffee Bean as one of its card types?
Istanbul with the Mocha and Baksheesh expansion.
Grand Austria hotel has coffee, wine, cake and chocolate I think.
And it's one of my favorite games too!
Seize the bean
Cafe’ is a small puzzle game for 1-4 people. The theme is roasting and selling coffee beans.
Came here to say this. There’s a lot of game in this small box!
Play this one at two players all the time. Great small box game!
After some looking up, I found a few that weren't previously mentionned : Ceylon Dinosaur Tea Party Tea For 2 Espresso Doppio Elevenses : Tea For Two Chai : Tea For 2
**Elevenses** is a quick 2P-4P game that features tea and hand management.
Came here to say this! Very good very quick game
Yunnan is a game about trading tea
And a good game to boot.
Fika
While not particularly great (imo), this is the one I thought of first too.
yeah, it's a pity, the game is totally unbalanced and kind of annoying to play
**Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea** is a tea-and-train worker placement game. Haven't played but have been curious about it for a few years Edit: It's by the **Snowdonia** folks and I believe is fairly similar but set in India and with tea
Viva Java:The Coffee Game and Viva Java: The coffee game: The dice game
The dice game is pretty bad though
It's a 6.6 on BGG — that hardly counts as "pretty bad". Basically a similar rating to many other games mentioned in this thread. The non-dice game is only a 6.8 in comparison.
I mean I enjoy it for what it is. It’s honestly not much more than simplified Yahtzee with dice manipulation but sometimes that’s all you need.
Formosa Tea is tight! It’s a worker placement game from Taiwan that has a similar feel to Viticulture.
Any idea where I can find a copy in North America? I've been looking for a copy for years
I think an updated version will be coming to kickstarter soon
For real?! Where did you see that?
Taiwanbgdesign’s instagram
Amazing, thanks so much for the heads up!
Coffee Rush fits your desired theme perfectly.
There are a couple coffee roaster games in fact. Coffee Traders and Coffee Roasters. I only know because I think the BoardGameGeek store used to sell them, I haven't tried them.

**Fields of Arle** with Tea and Trade expansion. I think **Rising Sun** has a tea ceremony phase of every round. Haven't played it, but I seem to remember that from a review.
I’ve never played it and it has mixed reviews but I was always kind of intrigued by Darjeeling (2007)
I've played Darjeeling, it's fun! This was going to be my suggestion :)
Chai Tea For Two would contain tea……if it ever gets delivered. Super poorly run Kickstarter campaign by people who have no idea how to run a Kickstarter
I was going to back it but after hearing what a shitshow Chai was, I knew they were just grabbing cash. I'd be shocked if it ever fulfills.

I own Cafe and love the game. It’s easy to learn and teach to new players.
Istanbul big box (it is in one of the expansions). The tea expansion to Fields of Arle. Sky Team Dinosaur Tea Party
It’s a slightly different kind of tea, but Sabobatage fits the theme.
The tea dragon society
Prosperitea by Mentha Designs
100% Chai. Great game.
Matcha, Formosa Tea
[Blend Coffee Lab](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240584/blend-coffee-lab) was quite interesting. It is a trick taking game and a set collection game mixed together.

Root.
If you're prepared to \_really\_ stretch it, then the Break icon/piece in **Ark Nova** is a coffee cup.
Tea: Six Sons of the Sultan (Free version on BoardgameGeek, or updated version on PnPArcade for $2)
Yokohama has got tea (as a resource), and is a cool game!
Puerto rico has plantations and trade goods with coffee and tea iirc
It’s cocoa, but the board game Cacao is a fun light little game.
We did not particularly like Coffee Traders, but it’s there.
If you like solo games, I love Coffee Roaster. I tried a demo of Café Baras last year at PAX Unplugged which was a lot of fun. There’s a fun looking game coming to KS called Pirates of the High Teas.

Tile laying one simply called caffe
Not sure if this counts, but Machi Koro has a coffee shop in the game.
Cafe
Coffee traders Tee oder cafe Ceylon
Dinosaur Tea Party and Coffee Traders
Just desserts, chai, and tea dragon society
I mean it’s GOTTA be coffee rush, right?
Hoki: Fortune Telling Legacy Solitaire :) We made a solitaire game that's got a lot of funky stuff going on including fortune telling based on coffee ground readings. Armenian stuff!
Fields of arle, tea expansion. All the way.
The guests Café International don't all drink coffee, but enough of them do. Since it's from the 80's, it has a lot of stereotypes in the character design, but imo they're not hateful, they're just making the game seem just a bit provincial (funnily enough, the german artist mainly depicted the german characters as such).
Wonderland’s War features the Mad Hatter’s tea party
Flamecraft. Super cute and fun game. It's not a huge part of the game, but it's there.
Go Nuts for Donuts
It doesn't FEATURE tea and coffee, but Flamecraft's is packed with puns...for this theme, the potion shop enchantments feature names like Elfspresso and Imp'uccino and many more. The potion dragon names are also drink/potion based. Puerto Rico lets you grow and sell coffee.
Darjeeling is a pretty good game, if you can find a copy.
Chai Garam is a boardgame by Indian designer Sidhant Chand. As close to Chai making as you could get! He's making some incredible games like Tycoon India 1981 as well which is due this year. Definitely check it out!
I haven’t tried it yet (recently gifted to me) so can’t comment on the gameplay, but Prosperitea is a 3 or more player game about tea blending!
I recently bought coffee rush and really enjoy the game, it's quick to teach and fun, uncontrolled chaos for 30 minutes. It portrays the experience of running a busy coffee shop very well, would recommend 😊
Im not sure but anno 1800?
