Tea Leaf Reading is an ancient art that originated in China using high grade black tea. In Victorian times, tasseography became popular as a parlour game.  The basic idea is to read the tea leaves as they sit in the bottom of the tea cup, paying attention to the patterns & pictures the tea leaves form.

Proper Techniques
