Robber's Tea

Robber's Tea (ぬすっと茶, Nusutto Tya) is a type of tea seen in Suikoden. It is a drugged tea used by robbers to render their victims unconscious.

Information
Robber's Tea is a "specialty" of the Mt. Tigerwolf area of the Toran region. It is said to be extremely bitter and has an unusual smell. In actually, it is a potent drugged tea used by Ledon to rob people staying at his inn on Mt. Tigerwolf. Those who ingest the tea tend to exhibit slurred speech briefly shortly after consumption before quickly falling unconscious. It is considered an old trick.

Odessa Silverberg and her allies fell victim to the Robber's Tea early in the Gate Rune War, tired and eager to rest while traversing Mt. Tigerwolf. Fortunately, Ledon's boss, Kessler would visit during the attempted robbery and put a halt to proceedings. He would have Ledon prepare an antidote rabbit's tail, rose leaves, and a handful of sugar.

Later in the Gate Rune War, Krin would attempt to serve Robber's Tea to members of the Toran Liberation Army but its members were now wise to the trick and apprehended Krin instead. Meanwhile, Ledon and Kessler were forced to flee from Mt. Tigerwolf after attempting to serve the tea to the Imperial Army there.
