About Amy Taylor…
For 30+ years Amy Lou Taylor has been a Tea Enthusiast and a professional Tea Leaf and Card Reader (not currently doing readings). She is the sole owner of TAOTAT’s Mystic Tea & Brooms (TAoTaT c.2009), a business with a focus on all things tea, tea Sommelier services, tea education, tea leaf and card reading, brooms, broom education, teaching.
Amy is a Certified THAC Tea Sommelier Professional and Broomsquire (broom maker). She is also in the process writing a few books, one of which is about the mystical side of Tea.
She is also the owner and curator of the Museum of Tasseomancy, a collection of over 180 objects related to the ancient art of Tea leaf reading. The collection has been on display internationally, and will be doing pop ups as years got forward.
Amy’s passion for all things tea and herb related is one of the reasons why she decided to to sell a small curated selection of teas and tisanes. Amy creates almost every blend that she carries, and if she didn’t, she made sure to test and taste them prior to passing them onto you. Many of the blends she has for you are not only organic but as much as possible single origin, from farm smallholders, and sustainably harvested.
Amy reinstated her passion for art and crafts, and reconnected with broom making after a nearly 10 year hiatus (she has been making brooms off and on for over 20 years) in late 2020. She came across an incredibly talented broomsquire (broom maker) on Instagram. In January 2021 during a lockdown period due to the Covid pandemic, she took an online course from that maker to refresh her muscle memory, to relearn Turkey Wing and Hawks Tail hand whisks and ran with her creative juices from there.
You can find Amy teaching broomcraft, tea and tasseomancy related programs and workdshops, as well as broom making and tea ceremony, and blending demonstrations at various locations throughout the year. She is also creating on demand virtual workshops for her tasseomancy classes to be released in Autumn 2025, and in 2026, she will be adding broom making classes as well.
