During the Version 2.6 livestream, Genshin Impact announced the «Spices From the West» event featuring a researcher from the new region Sumeru, leaving fans wondering who this character from Sumeru could be. The researcher has traveled from Sumeru to Liyue to conduct research on spices. During the event, players will cook dishes for the Companions in their Serenitea Pot, earning them Companionship EXP. As Sumeru isn’t expected to be released until Summer 2022 in 3.0, fans were intrigued by the upcoming event and who the mysterious character from Sumeru could be.

Sumeru, one of the seven regions in Teyvat, is Genshin Impact’s Dendro region, expected to become released to players later this year.

However, Spices From The West’s Sumeru character could be an NPC from Sumeru, a few of which have already been introduced to Genshin Impact players.
