How to Make the Pitcher of Iced Tea in Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story

To craft the Level 6 Pitcher of Iced Tea in Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story, tap your Coffee Machine generator to produce base Tea Bags, then merge them in pairs through a linear six-tier progression. Because Tea Bags drop as secondary outputs alongside standard coffee items, you need a total of 32 base Tea Bags, roughly 150 to 300 energy points, and sufficient free board space to handle the byproduct items.

Tea Merge Chain Requirements

Every level in the tea progression requires combining two identical items from the preceding tier. Completing the entire chain from scratch requires exactly 32 Level 1 Tea Bags and 31 individual merges.

Level	Item Name	Base Tea Bags Required
Level 1	Tea Bag	1
Level 2	Cup of Tea	2
Level 3	Mug of Tea	4
Level 4	Tea with Milk	8
Level 5	Teapot	16
Level 6	Pitcher of Iced Tea	32

Gathering Tea Bags from the Coffee Machine

The Coffee Machine does not drop tea exclusively. Tea Bags appear as an uncommon secondary drop, while coffee beans and cups represent the majority of the output.

Expect Energy Costs: Securing 32 Tea Bags typically consumes between 150 and 300 energy points across multiple generator cooldown periods.
Tap in Batches: Empty the Coffee Machine in complete production runs rather than tapping in small increments of 10 or 20 energy. Batching allows you to see your current tea yield clearly and combine pairs right away.
Wait Out Cooldowns: When the Coffee Machine runs out of charges and enters its recovery timer, wait for the natural recharge instead of spending gems, unless an active event deadline requires an immediate finish.

Managing Board Congestion and Coffee Byproducts

Because the Coffee Machine yields far more coffee items than tea components, grid congestion is the main obstacle when pursuing high-tier tea orders. Before tapping the generator, ensure you have an open buffer of 15 to 20 free tiles.

Merge Coffee Upward: Combine excess coffee drops into higher tiers immediately. Merging two low-level items frees one board square right away.
Fulfill Active Coffee Orders: If you have an open customer request asking for advanced coffee drinks, channel the byproduct merges into completing that order alongside your tea progression.
Sell Low-Tier Excess: If your board fills completely and no active orders require coffee, sell Level 1 or Level 2 coffee items for a single coin. Sacrificing low-value coffee drops keeps the grid clear so the generator can continue producing Tea Bags.

Storing and Assembling the Final Item

Reaching the final stage requires combining two Level 5 Teapots. Once you produce the first Teapot, place it in your inventory storage pocket while you gather the remaining 16 Tea Bags. Storing the first Teapot prevents accidental taps and keeps an extra tile open on your main board. Once you merge the second Teapot on the board, retrieve the first one from inventory and combine them to complete the Pitcher of Iced Tea.
