Tea Leaf Reading for Beginners by Caroline Dow

For those who want a more in depth look at the Art of Tasseomancy, this book provides. A more detailed history, most of which I agree with and a more extensive education on tea, again most of which I agree with. I particularly liked the exploration she took in the Magic of Tea chapter.The book is easy to read and understand and dives into different chapters for symbol types as well as astrology. Happy to recommend this book to those who want more than the basics about the Art. – Amy Lou Taylor, owner, The Art of Tea and Tasseomancy’s Mystic Tearoom
