“The World in Your Cup: A Handbook in the Ancient Art of Tea Leaf Reading” by Joseph F. Conroy and Emilie J. Conroy

"For beginners and long-time tea lovers alike, this engaging book explains the practice of tasseomancy, or reading tea leaves. The hands-on exercises and activities are complemented by background information on tea and the best equipment and techniques for brewing.

From the history of tea and how the drink spread across the globe to growing Camellia sinensis (the tea shrub) in your own garden, the book helps you become an expert.
