Tea leaf readers, also known as tasseomancers, are individuals who practice divination by interpreting the patterns, shapes, and symbols formed by tea leaves at the bottom of a cup after the tea has been consumed. Other synonyms for tea leaf readers include "tea leaf diviner," "cup reader," and "tasseographer." In some cultures, they are also called "tea readers" or "chai-wallahs" (in India). Regardless of the terminology, tasseomancers are believed to possess supernatural or mystical abilities that aid them in decoding hidden messages and revealing insights into the past, present, and future of their clients. Despite the skepticism surrounding this mystic art, tea leaf reading continues to fascinate and intrigue many people around the world.
