CHAIBERPUNK TEA TERMINAL
The Chaiberpunk Tea Terminal is part of the Jasmine Node, a secret network of traditional teahouses in Neo-San Francisco that safeguards human history within tea leaves. It provides a serene refuge amidst a high-tech world, where tea rituals double as coded exchanges of lost knowledge. When the Great Data Purge strikes, the Terminal becomes a hub of resistance, turning tea ceremonies into acts of cultural defiance and preservation.
