Reading Tea Leaves

Gypsy Tea Reading.
We all want to know what the future has in store for us.  So next time you have a cup of tea, put a few spoons of a good loose leaf tea into your teapot and brew.  Pour it into your favorite English bone china cup or any other for that matter and don't bother to use the tea strainer.  Drink up but leave a tiny bit of liquid in the bottom.  About a teaspoon should be right.   Hold your cup in your left hand, and twirl the remaining contents three times counter clock-wise, then pour the remaining liquid into the saucer.  You will be left with a pattern of tea leaves, enough to divine the future.  Hold your cup in two hands or what ever is comfortable for you, and clear your mind.  Let your eyes go out of focus.  Starting with the handle side, read your images counter clockwise.  The largest images are the most relevant.  The closest to the rim are relevant to the near future, and the images toward the bottom of the cup are in the future.  See what you come up with.  If you have never tried this, it is time to start it now.  Whether you enjoy a good strong cup of Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Darjeeling, or healthful Green tea it doesn't matter.  Let me know what  you think.

  1. What an interesting idea. We have plenty of tea to try in our house (my husband is British), so tonight I'll make a cup and see what happens. Thanks for posting this. It will be fun to do.

  2. I drink a lot of tea, but usually strain it. It takes a while to get used to floating tea leaves in our tea. Good luck with your fortune telling.
