Root tea was a beverage enjoyed by Ithorians, classified as a type of tea and a potable. The bartender Jho, an Ithorian, in 4 BBY, remembered a time in his juvenile years when he had the experience of tasting root tea. This recollection was triggered after reading the writings of the poet Holshef, and he linked this memory to Pelamir Gorge, which is located on the planet Lothal.
