==History==
At some point by 0 ABY, Tal Anavere, a Ho'Din art dealer and the owner of the art gallery "Sophistication" on the Inner Rim worldThe Essential Atlas Obroa-skai, began serving a combination of Ho'Din herbal teas to her clients, highly placed members of the Galactic Empire's bureaucracy. Unbeknown to them, Anavere used her position to gather and pass on valuable information to the Rebel Alliance, and she utilized the herb-derived beverages to further her control over the Imperials, using her skills to cultivate addictive qualities in the teas she brewed.
Alliance General Airen Cracken noted Anavere's use of Ho'Din herbal teas in a personal addendum to an entry dedicated to the Ho'Din art dealer within a datafile detailing Rebel operatives. In the addendum, Cracken also noted his reservations about the methods Anavere used for extracting information from her clients; however, his concerns were mitigated to an extent by the belief that the atrocities committed by the Imperial bureaucrats were far more grave than the art dealer's use of Ho'Din herbal teas.
