The art of divination through tea leaves is a ritualistic one. The ritual encourages you to relax and clear your thoughts so that you can enjoy your cup of tea and focus on a question for which you want an answer. Loose leaf teas with larger leaves are particularly suitable. Chinese teas are often preferred. The person who is the subject of reading may be asked to first stir the dry tea leaves, to increase their contact with them like the shuffling of tarot cards, before spooning a measure of the tea into a heated pot or directly into a white china cup. Boiling water is added to the tea and the subject stirs the tea in the cup or pot while still inwardly focused on their unique question. If the tea is in a corningware teapot, the subject should swirl the contents before pouring the tea into a plain white cup.
