How to Read Your Own Tea Leaves
- The first step in reading your own tea leaves is to be brew a loose tea. You can't use tea in a bag, as there will be no tea leaves at the bottom of the cup! Be sure to use a light colored cup or mug and to choose the widest cup possible (this will give you the room to distinctly see patterns and shapes).
- The second step is to drink your tea. Many suggest it is best to try and a think of a particular question or life area. When you are done with your tea, leave a small amount of liquid to help the leaves stick.
- The third step in reading your own tea leaves is perhaps the most important. Some readers suggest that you drink the tea ,and then just leave the cup in the position where you put it down. Others suggest that there is value in where the handle of the cup (if applicable) faces. However, a more common school of thought is to hold the cup in your hand and vigorously swirl the cup in a circle three times. Whichever method you prefer is up to you.
- At this point, all that is left is to look at the bottom of your cup and see which patterns or shapes you see. It's best to consult an Internet or book source to find out what your shapes indicate.
