Pelaxians enjoy a wide variety of non-alcoholic infusions. Among these, tea has long been the most widely enjoyed; in 2006, over 700,000 metric tons were harvested in Pelaxia, mostly for domestic consumption. Tea is also one of the top exports from Pelaxia, as it is valued all over the world, but second behind coffee. | Pelaxians enjoy a wide variety of non-alcoholic infusions.

Aside from the traditional Cafés, tea houses and tea gardens are also settings in which social gatherings with tea take place. Chess is a common game that is often played in these tea gardens. They have proven to be an attraction for tourists in destinations. With the growing young population, Pelaxia is seeing a shift towards café culture in places where coffee is predominantly being drunk.However, this increase in the consumption of coffee does not negate the fact that black Pelaxian tea is still the drink of choice for Pelaxians. | |||
''Enlatado'' is a tea drink prepared by the ill-fated ''Gaucho Carlos'' in the popular Pelaxian folk song "''Los que duermen los deguellan''" . Boiling water for tea over a camp fire and adding a gum leaf for flavouring remains an iconic traditional Pelaxian method for preparing tea, which was a staple drink of the Pelaxian 1700s period. | |||
