Appearance

The Donorian tea plant grows dark green circular leaves along its vines. The leaves of the plant are edible and contain caffeine.
The plant reproduces by growing flowers which develop into small inedible seed-filled berries which drop and grow new plants. The flowers of the plant are symmetrical and have spindly petals, they have been described as looking like starbursts or fireworks. The plant flowers in late summer or autumn, with the plant dispersing its seeds before winter so that more can grow back the next warm season as the plant is an annual plant and only lives for one growing season.
The shape, size, and color of the plant vary depending on the specific species of tea plant. The same goes for other things about the plant like size, taste, and heartiness.
