Tea Leaf Art

Tea leaf art, often referred to as "tasseography," is the practice of interpreting the patterns left by tea leaves in a cup after the beverage has been consumed. Traditionally associated with fortune-telling, practitioners analyze the shapes and arrangements of the leaves to uncover symbolic meanings, akin to reading tarot cards. While it has roots in various cultures, particularly in the West during the 19th century, today it serves as a unique blend of art and introspection. Many find it a creative way to reflect on personal insights or future possibilities, combining intuition with a touch of whimsy.
