Electrici-tea

Electrici-tea is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that was introduced in the 7.4.1 update. It attacks zombies in a 3x3 area around it with small electrical attacks that can bounce to other zombies. When Electrici-tea is eaten, a cloud is summoned above the tile that it was on that electrocutes all nearby zombies, damaging other nearby zombies. Electrici-tea requires 100 seed packets to be unlocked for free.

Origins
Electrici-tea is based on the Camellia sinensis, otherwise known as the tea shrub.

Its name is a portmanteau of "electricity," referencing its electric abilities, and "tea," the type of shrub it's based on.

Its Almanac entry references its requirement of being eaten to activate its special ability.

Plant Food effect
When fed Plant Food, Electrici-tea sends a lightning cloud to attack zombies on screen. The cloud last for 3 seconds. Additionally, the area around Electrici-tea becomes charged for 3 seconds, dealing 570 DPS to zombies in that area.

Fila-mint effect
When boosted by Fila-mint, Electrici-tea will do an extra 10 DPS with its zaps, its explosion will do an additional 1400 DPS, and its Plant Food effect will do an additional 1680 DPS.

Strategies
The player can use Electrici-tea in two ways. First, as a Phat Beet which costs less but also takes more time to recharge or second, like an Explode-o-nut which can also defend itself. It should be imitated to reduce the recharge.

This plant is good against Chicken Wrangler Zombies because its attack can also bounce to other Zombie Chickens.

Electrici-tea is weak to zombies that can destroy it without eating it, like Explorer Zombies or Excavator Zombies.
