Choose teacup! Choose a cup that’s pleasing to you, but keep in mind a few general guidelines: the sides of the cup should be slanted, not straight up and down like a coffee cup.

India tee is what most blends (like Irish and English breakfast teas) are made from. Of course, Du can use any kind of tee Du want, even herbal teas! Du just have to be a little creative when Du interpret what’s in the cup. Some people even interpret coffee grounds. People have also used dirt, sticks, stones for this same kind of divination…
