Azerothian Botany - Kafa’kota Bush
The Kafa’kota bush only grows in high elevations on Kota Peak in Kun-Lai summit, making it a rare and rather expensive plant [Quest: Gourmet Kafa, Quest: Kota Blend]. The local grummles make a living by harvesting seeds from the berries that grow on Kafa’kota bushes and distilling them into an addictive drink popularly known as Kafa’kota Blend – or Kafa for short [Quest: Kota Blend, Quest: Trouble Brewing]. After the grummles cut the seeds out of the berries, they roast them, ground them, and then brew them in pure water to make the final product [NPC: Uncle Keenbean Dialogue]. The grummles also sometimes make special Kafa blends using Kafa’kota seeds that have passed through the digestive systems of the mountain’s native wildlife [Quest: Gourmet Kafa].
Kafa’kota berries are edible and can be eaten on their own [Page: Kafa’kota Berry]. Those who ingest them are typically prone to sudden bursts of activity followed by a period of intense lethargy, although additional side effects include moodiness and crankiness [Buff: Kafa-Crazy, Buff: Kafa Rush, Buff: Kafa Crash, Quest: Trouble Brewing]. Despite Kafa’s many drawbacks, however, it is an ideal drink for when one wishes to sober up [Item: Keenbean Kafa, Item: Kafa Press, Item: Cup of Kafa].
