Madame Yang has been trapped by an unexpected Earthbending attack from Brock giving the rest of the gang the perfect opportunity to really pull ahead in the battle of the teas!
Meanwhile, Bill and Guo are dealing with some problems at the Blissful Brew booth! It seems that the influx of customers who aren't partaking in Hot Leaf Juice's inferior tea have been swarming the Blissful Brew's beverage stand, and Mr. Okuran fears they will soon run out of ingredients and fall behind. It's up to Bill to go out and hopefully find the ingredients Brock tossed into the maze.
And finally, what in the world is Meeka up to right now? Find out on this episode of Benders & Brews!

With Makala out and her character Meeka trying to hide from the Hot Leaf Juice team, that leaves tonight up to the guys in the boy's night special episode!
Brock is tasked with the tough decision of dropping his infiltration work at the HLJ booth in favor of possibly causing them trouble in new ways, but he notices something strange is up when Madame Yang makes the claim that someone on her staff MUST be a mole and starts calling them away to a side room to "give them a talk." What kinds of things might she be asking/telling them? Will Brock be able to keep up the facade?
Meanwhile, Bill and Guo struggle to keep up with the Blissful Brew booth as unsatisfied customers from HLJ, inside the mansion, are trying the tea that the outside vendor is making and finding it much more to their liking. Can the duo keep up with the orders? And will HLJ try anything nefarious against them and their tea booth? Find out in this episode of Benders & Brews!

Everything so far has led up to this point: The big rich-people party hosted by the Yotaku family (co-hosted by the Shifu family), the very same one that led Mr. Okuran to believe he'd be catering it and then canceled on him last minute leaving him in financial ruin, but thanks to Meeka's quick-thinking last episode the crew from The Blissful Brew are back in!
Now that they're getting set up and the part is about to start they're going to have to deal with their rivals Hot Leaf Juice from Ba Singh Se who is out to get them and shut them down! Who knows what kind of craziness and drama will happen during this party! The only way to find out is to listen to the episode!
A huge thank you to Kasandra Georgi for voicing our major villain Madame Yang! She is an incredibly talented voice actress and we look forward to working with her for this character as the show continues! She is a member of our Discord (linked below) so you can say hello there!

The show continues to thrive, with episode 5! The group just learned that their good friend Mr. Okuran used to not only work for Hot Leaf Juice, their newly realized tea competition, but that he was a CO-OWNER!
Now the stakes have been raised as they head over to the party and begin setting up. But they know that Hot Leaf Juice is on there way! Will they sabotage their competition? And will The Blissful Brew be able to keep up with the chain's tea quality during the party?

We're back with episode 4! We had a lot going on when we left off last week! Meeka had just left the Shifu home with Bill Door still walking freely around inside and Brock Lee trapped in the basement! Will they be able to get out without the notice of the butler Sebastian calling the guards on them for breaking and entering?
Not to mention, with the catering deal having been semi-reinstated what will the group do next as it seems they will soon be coming face-to-face with their new competition: Hot Leaf Juice?
