Forester's tea was an item during the Forestry Open Beta update that could be brewed using different types of leaves and roots, providing boosts to production and gathering skills. Players can add up to ten of these, in any combination they wish. Jagex cited player feedback as the primary reason for not introducing forester's tea into the game, stating the system would add an "unnecessary amount of complexity to a skill whose roots are very simple and easy to understand for all players."^[1]

There were four effects:

• Production - Boosts production skill level.
• Gathering - Boosts gathering skill level.
• Tertiary Power - Sets the power of tertiary effects (added with roots). Adds no power to empty categories. Some proposed tertiary effects that were originally discussed during the April 2023 Gielinor Gazette were:
  • Increased Clue drop chance from monsters and skilling.
  • Chance to save Ranged ammo and Magic Runes.
  • Boosted minigame reward points.
  • Boosted Slayer Points and superior monster spawn chance.
    • Revised tertiary effects during the Forestry - Next Steps update included:
    • Increased chance to not burn food whilst Cooking on a fire.
    • Increased chance of bird nests whilst Woodcutting.
    • Fires burn for longer.
    • Fletch X% more arrow shafts per log.
    • Increased chance to receive Clues from skilling.
• Duration - Increases duration of the boost effect.

Each "+" represented 30 seconds for duration, and two "+" equated to one production/gathering level boost (if odd, the tea gives a chance to boost one level higher). It was not currently known how much each "+" represents for Tertiary Powers.
