Kettle Stall

Tea shop game

Phones and computers

Kettle Stall is a tea shop game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Customers ask for tea in two words, and you brew the two leaves whose jars carry them. Leaf prices drift every morning, so some blends would sell at a loss and turning a customer away can be the right call. Later customers use new words, a recipe book fills in as you learn, and the stall closes after seven days.

Tips

Every leaf carries one word that only it has and one it shares with exactly one other leaf, so the rarer word in a request names a jar outright.
A wrong cup still teaches something: the customer names the two leaves they wanted as they leave, though you lose the price of both scoops.
A tip of up to 5 coins is added by how much of the customer's 25 seconds of patience is left when you brew.

When should I use Sorry?

When the two leaves cost more than the customer offers. Offers run from 16 to 26 coins and each scoop costs 2 to 10, drifting by up to 2 every morning, so a blend of two dear leaves can lose money. Sorry sends the customer away for free; a wrong cup costs both scoops.

What are the other words customers use?

From day 3 some customers swap a jar word for another: bold for strong, roasted for toasty, buttery for nutty, bright for fresh, leafy for grassy, icy for cool, light for delicate, smooth for mellow, calming for sleepy, zingy for spicy, perfumed for fragrant and flowery for floral. The recipe book records each once you have met it.
