Letters on the tea box? Follow the arrows on the tea bags, they hide a clue!

Answer: DRAWERS
The patterns of the tea bags correspond to the patterns of each cup, players will have to use the correct bags to follow a correct order in the tea box:
- Cup with polka dots = polka dot bag.
- Cup with lines and diamonds = bag of lines + bag of diamonds
- Cup with polka dots and lines: bag of polka dots + bag of lines
- Cup with diamonds and polka dots = bag of polka dots + bag of diamonds
Next, look at the arrows on the tea bags indicating which way to go in the tea box.
Example: 1st cup = down arrow, then move twice to the right with the arrows on the bags with lines and diamonds, etc.
