How to Read Tea Leaves by Claire Goodchild, with Harney & Sons Fine Teas

Your grandmother wasn't just being nosy when she stared into the bottom of her teacup — she was reading it.

The 66-card deck and 80-page guidebook walk you through the symbols that show up in your cup, organized into six categories — Love, Clarity, Success, Change, Omens, and Inspiration — each paired with its own tea.
