Harvesting Tea: Basic +35%, Advanced +50%, Pure +65%, Milky +65%, Creamy +85%. A Survivor's Pie and a Harvesting Tea replace each other, so eat one. A Bear Pie multiplies either by 1.5 (Rich Bear Pie: 1.75) but burns it 2× as fast. Tea and pie combos compares every mix. A better tool only harvests faster. Its meat goes into Rich Chicken Pie.

Run speed tested in game: on our own server the chicken chased a target on flat ground and we timed its top speed. Tested on the current version of Rust.
