Detailed Guide to Tea Leaf Reading (Tasseography)

Tea leaf reading, also known as tasseography or tasseomancy, is an ancient form of divination where patterns formed by tea leaves in a cup are interpreted to predict the future or gain insight into the present. Here's a detailed guide on how to perform tea leaf reading and interpret the symbols you may find.

Preparation for Tea Leaf Reading

Materials Needed:

Loose Leaf Tea: Black tea is traditional, but you can use any type of loose leaf tea. Avoid teas with large, bulky leaves.

White or Light-Colored Teacup: A cup with a wide mouth and sloping sides is ideal, preferably with no patterns inside the cup to make the reading clearer.

Saucer: To catch any excess tea.

Teapot or Kettle: To boil water and brew the tea.
