How to invite characters to Teapot in Genshin Impact

sportskeeda.com:

Many Travelers wonder how to invite characters to their Teapot in Genshin Impact, but there are several things that they should know.

NOTE: Players won't be able to place any new characters in the Serenitea Pot while maintenance is ongoing. There is no confirmed date when Teapot maintenance will finish.

The above note will be relevant for players trying to give their new Fragrant Dishes from the Spices From the West event to their characters. However, they can still complete the "Invite characters to taste-test" part of the Spices From the West event.

The main reason why some Travelers would be looking this up right now is because of the Spices From the West event. Part of the event allows Genshin Impact players to feed a character some Fragrant Dishes to boost their Companionship EXP.

Although one can't invite a new character to their Teapot until maintenance is finished (no known date), they can still feed characters already present. Simply talk to the character you wish to bolster your Companionship EXP with, and select the "Please try this!" option. Afterward, choose the relevant dish.

Keep in mind that you can feed the same character multiple times. Each character has different tastes, which affects their dialog. If a player has no character in the Serenitea Pot, they won't be able to take advantage of this part of the event.

As players can see from the above Reward Preview, simply feeding some Fragrant Dishes to their characters counts. There aren't any Primogems in these rewards, so Genshin Impact players without characters in their Teapot will only miss out on some Mystic Enhancement Ores and Weapon Ascension Materials.

REMINDER: This method won't work while Teapot maintenance is going on. It will only be relevant once
