It is easy to mass produce, but time consuming. If you decide you are going to mass produce tea, you will make a lot of it, but it will take up most of your time. If you make one or two every so often, you get a lot less than the mass producer would in the same amount of time. This would make more of a trading item (REALISTIC! YAY!), and add another play style for merchants. Personally, I like the idea of "Only Small Islands", it means that you can either farm the tea leaves or use a catamaran to sail from flax, to spire, to teraphyx, which would take less time than you would expect, making both strategies a good method, though farming would take slightly more work and get slightly better results.
