Preparing for the Reading

Make sure that the cup you use is clean, being white or pastel in color, and do not use a mug! Use loose tea leaves as opposed to emptying a tea bag, as the leaves in a tea bag are too finely ground and will stick together. Choose a tea that you enjoy, as it is always a good part of the experience to actually drink most of the tea before doing the reading. A China tea is a good choice. Do not use milk or sweetener as they will make the leaves sticky. Put about ½ teaspoon of the tea directly into the cup; some people like to make a pot and then pour out the tea, but this often results in a huge deposit of leaves or none at all. Use very hot water in order to help the leaves expand a little which will add to their ability to make patterns. Let the leaves settle as much as possible, then drink the tea slowly, focusing on what you are about to do; leave enough water in the cup to still cover the leaves.

You are now going to slowly tip off the excess water while retaining the leaves in the cup. This will take some practice. Holding the cup’s handle, slowly swirl the water around the entire inside of the cup, and as you do so, let the cup tip slightly over a saucer so that the water spills out. Don’t twirl the cup too quickly or the leaves won’t stick to the cup. It’s inevitable that you will lose some of the leaves during the process, but don’t worry about it.  (Some people just swirl the cup 3 times and then just quickly tip it over onto the saucer; you can do this, but often it will also dump many of the leaves, especially if you have left too much water in the cup). Carefully proceed until all of the water has been emptied and the tea is scattered around the insides of the cup. Now you can turn it upside down and set it on the saucer to fully drain for a minute or so. Now pick up the cup with the handle closest to you.
