I tried to make some of this and even with its small filling, the rate you'd use them to get decent buff sizes is stupid.
If i remember rightly i got to about +73, 10 filling, so either i'm doing something wrong or is it just capped really low?
I'm a master artisan btw.

All foods gained in the Dom Arts tree use general Artisan experimentation.
The good news:
- You only need 44xx to get ten experimentation points (there is no +experimentation in Master Artisan)
- If you're a human, you get an extra point just for that, and can theoretically get up to 14 points: 100 for 44xx +15 for human +25 from tapes = +140 artisan experimentation.
The bad news:
You need engineering IV to make the dom arts foods at max quality.

It seems a bit low, but that may be a matter of how you spend your points. I never spend any on filling or quantity, and I've never made a BE version. With all of my Artisan buff foods, I start with top quality material, aim for a +50 buff and then spend the rest on duration. I've gotten it up to about an hour. I did make some Espresso +90 44min (BE Caf), but that was by spending everything on power, nothing on duration.

You also have to realize this is only an artisan food. To give this a large buff would be the same as putting Brandy at Dom 2 or something similiar.
To me the farthur up chef someone would go the bigger the filling and bonus would get. So you might have a +500 mind food(just an example) but it would be 50 filling and decent duration. Compare that with a novice artisan food that would be low buff, but also low filling.
Spiced tea isn't actually that bad, I don't make it only because I don't have the skill points for it. BE versions of this stuff would be insanely expensive though. 10 ever 45 minutes or so. You would get a larger mind buff than brandy, but you lose all the secondary stat buffs.

Yes it has been selling fairly well for me. Not the fastest sellers but it should be increasing popular now with the mind cost in healing.

I'm a new chef and I've been reading the forums. I can't figure out how to make good spiced tea.
I have good resources. I'm master artisan. I live in a research city, I have a perfect crafting tool
and a perfect station. When I make my spiced tea it is barely 100+ mind regen. I've seen some
on my server that was +180. I can make really good blob candy but I can't make even decent
spiced tea. Anyone have any ideas?

You need high PE and OQ organics and high OQ and DR water first of all. Then you need some +55+ additives. Then you need to experiment up the nutrition line. If you want more points, go Master Artisan so you can make sure you max out the nutrition line. Then you're usually good to go for hitting in the 170-180+ range.
