Made some random teas. The names are a bit weird - I wanted them to serve as the description without further elaboration, but also be vague enough that players are almost garunteed to get the wrong end of the stick for how most of them work.
Nearly all of them last 24 hours. This isn't necessarily a good idea, it's just easier for me to track. Change that to 1d6 hours or whatever if you want.
I dunno how much these cost. I'm not an authority. I'm just saying that because I have a habit of viewing other random tables and content online as gospel and worrying about "using them wrong" so here's a carte blanche to ignore everything I say you think is dumb.
This is a d66 table just like all the good stuff coming out of Troika! - you roll 2 d6s and count them as the 10s and 1s of a single number.

You become
gross and adhesive like an always-brand-new post-it note for 24 hours.
46 Zen
Attraction World Calm
Your head
develops a mild gravitational orbit phenomenon for 24 hours. Small objects
circle your head. If you think really hard you can lob them like so many tiny
asteroids.
51 Bone
Ache Sencha Massage
Turns your
bones to pliable putty for 24 hours. You can fit through any gap that permits
your head. You loll around slowly like animate chewing gum. You return
perfectly to normal if you're not hurt or in a tight spot when it wears off.
52 Healing
Fortune Drastic Tea
You regrow
hacked-off limbs perfectly for 24 hours. Wounds and cuts and things don't heal
any faster - only totally-hacked-off parts - so if you bruise your hand it
might be easier to lop it off. Doesn't work with the head, though.
53 Golden
Charm Black Sand
You
projectile vomit sand at an alarming rate and strength. Like an industrial
sandblaster. 24 hours. (If you feel mean/funny, have your player save vs poison
randomly or begin barfing up sand, obliterating fragile things in their path).
Very purifying.
54 Godly
Waking Heaven Tea
Pass out
and wake up in the spiritual realm where you appear as a ghostly ideal of
yourself. You carry a helium-balloon like item containing yourself in a foetal
ball. This is your ego, or mortal self, or whatever. If it's burst, you can't
go back to the mortal realm. It's as durable as a helium balloon. You have 24
hours before you wake up, provided you still have your balloon.
55 Power
Mighty Primal Brew
You
polymorph into a terrifying giant ape beast. Very few things will dare fuck
with you. You have the same mass and strength as you used to, so in this larger
form you're actually quite light and can't exert much force on anything. 24
hours.
56 Spooky
Passing Invisibili-Tea
You become
totally invisible and utterly undetectable other than your skeleton. 24 hours.
61 Implacable
Soothing Digestion Tincture
Your
stomach and throat become waxy, tough, and a conscious reflex. You can imbibe
poisons, acids, and really hot chilli without concern, and store said liquids
(or small objects) in your stomach and regurgitate them unharmed. 24 hours.
62 Radiant
Beauty Ascending Oolong
You can
turn into a cloud of beautiful butterflies at will. Each butterfly represents
one memory that makes up your identity. If many are lost, you forget parts of
yourself. Losing a whole bunch invites mechanical penalties and XP loss and GMs
can insert surprise backstory stuff that the character forgot about - like
their vengeful brother Eduardo, perhaps. Players are encouraged to come up with
trivial memories they lose when a single butterfly gets squashed or whatever.
24 hours.
63 Cleansing
Waters Chun Mee
You can
excrete copious amounts of water from your pores when you flex or strain. Given
a few hours you could fill a small swimming pool by clenching your fists and
going "rrrrgh!". Where does all the water come from? 24 hours.
64 Courageous
Tiger Stripe Ginseng
You get
stripy tiger skin, can move silently if you have no shoes on, and can smell
nearby creatures. 24 hours.
65 Restful
Soothing Misty Brew
You give
off vaguely chloroform-like vapours. Anyone standing near enough to you that
they could smell your breath must save or pass out.
66 Tran
Van Hay Knot
Your hair
grows over the course of 24 hours up to a maximum length of 50'. It becomes
tough, knotted, and much like rope. You can even suspend yourself from it or
pull stuff with it without it hurting. This stays after the tea effect wears
off. You'll probably need to wrap it up in a big knot to stop it trailing. But
congratulations, you're now 50' rope.
