What is Goldthorn Tea? It’s a simple cooking recipe from classic. Nothing special about it, all it does is restore some mana. So why does it matter?
Well, if you go to your cooking book and go to unlearned recipes, you will see Goldthorn Tea sitting there. It claims the source is a trainer, Henry Stern, in Razorfen Downs. However, Stern has been missing since Warlords of Draenor and no one knows how to get the recipe anymore. There are unobtainable recipes still in-game, such as Dirge’s Kickin’ Chimaerok Chops, but those recipes do not show up as “unlearned” in the profession book. This would imply that the Goldthorn Tea recipe is still obtainable!
Alas, a lot of people have looked and no one can seem to find it, despite years of looking. No Blizzard employee will confirm whether the recipe is still obtainable and we just haven’t looked hard enough or whether its presence in the profession book is a mistake. So I’ve decided it’s time we put this to rest: We need to figure out what is going on. We need to look in every nook and cranny. And we need answers.
I want that recipe, dammit.
