Tealeaf reading is still popular...
Tealeaf reading is still popular in this scientific age. You can buy up-to-date books on the subject to learn the technique. The rules are fairly simple. After someone has drunk all but a fraction of a teaspoon of a cup of tea, the cup is turned over on a saucer and then turned upright with the handle facing the interpreter. If the leaves are near the brim, something will happen in the near future. If they are near the bottom, it will occur later. Leaves toward the top indicate happy things; leaves toward the bottom indicate sad things. Leaves closest to the handle are about family matters.
