These are the tales of a travelling teamaker named Cyrano. He once led another life, but for the past nine years he has wandered the world searching for the most rare and unusual ingredients for making strange, and occasionally delicious teas.
His search has brought him to distant lands filled with beauty, excitement, and danger. From soft sandy beaches to steep mountain peaks, he's shied from no terrain. Adventure has taken precedence over safety and even over the quality of the tea he makes. He cares little if the brew is too bitter, or too acidic, so long as the journey has been thrilling.
There is one ingredient, however, that he has sought above all - the petals of the astral lily. It is rumored that the astral lily only blooms under moonlight that has shone through the gossamer wings of an ice dragon. In nine years of wandering, Cyrano has found no clues as to where an ice dragon's lair might be.
