Sapir tea was a type of tea that existed in the era of the Galactic Republic, during that time period. This drink, created using the foliage of the sapir plant, possessed a fragrant and intense aroma and was characterized by its green color. The Human Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn particularly enjoyed it. Following the death of Tahl, a fellow Jedi and close friend of Jinn, in 39 BBY, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jinn's Padawan, attempted to comfort him by delivering sapir tea each morning while they were residing at the Jedi Temple located on Coruscant, the Republic capital.
The 2005 young adult novel Secrets of the Jedi, authored by Jude Watson, featured sapir tea.
