11	!!''Lavender Tea'' provides examples of the following tropes:
12	* BrilliantbutLazy: Damian has strong skills but it's up to whether he wants to use them.
13	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: the comic subverts this message with two guys. Jassie is possibly the gentle girl role.
14	* CheerfulChild: Jasper (Jassie) shows non-aggressive behavior and often smiles. He is also InTouchWithHisFeminineSide as well.
15	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Damian has an implied crush [[spoiler:on his friend Jasper]] when they were kids which the other wasn't aware of.
16	* JustFriends: Nina and Damian are simply comrades but their school peers confuse their "[[TrueCompanions friendship love]]" as more which made the two feel awkward.
17	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Nina displays a doting affection to Jasper. To her, he is similar to a younger brother.
18	* OddFriendship: Damian starts out in a competitive rivalry with Nina, slowly becoming friends over time.
19	* OneOfTheBoys: Nina displays this as she likes being boyish and seen like one of her male friends.
20	* TroubledButCute: Damian is seen as attractive with a few admirers in school. A mischievous guy with a hidden past.
