What Is Tea Leaf Reading (Tasseography)?
Tea leaf reading, also known as tasseography, is a form of divination using loose-leaf tea. After drinking tea, the remaining leaves form symbols and patterns in the cup that can be interpreted to reveal messages from your subconscious, intuition, and spirit guides.
This practice is not about predicting the future—it’s about gaining clarity, awareness, and empowerment in your current life path.
