About 'TEA'

Story

When a society built on tea trade and consumption is threatened by a mysterious company, a young woman must infiltrate the exclusive Houses of Tea to gather allies and revitalize ceremonial tea magic.

Demographic & Genre

YA Fantasy

The World

The world is a fantasy version of Asia, with European fusion and tea/porcelain influence. Reference Chinoiserie and Rococo movements, and Colonial Asian architecture.

The Characters

Our Main Character is a Burmese (fantasy-inspired equivalent) girl in her late teens/early twenties who leaves her home, a rural farming village for the bustling city. Along the way, she meets nobles, sailors, and a cast of other characters, to ultimately form a magical tea-m.

Art

We are looking for an 2D anime influenced art style, similar to that of The Apothecary Diaries, Ouran High School Host Club, Genshin Impact, Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld, and The Legend of Vox Machina.

Music

We are looking to have cinematic/orchestral score, as well as are interested in the inclusion of upbeat song(s) inspired by anime OPs/closings, KPop & CPop. Examples: Yoasobi, Shang-Chi, VaVa.
