Yaay! They were getting onto the reading now. That was the exciting part. Whilst Hattie didn't like tea too much, she was excited to do some tea reading. She figured she probably wouldn't be very good at first, but it was worth trying. First though, she wrote all of the instructions down into her notes. This way she wouldn't forget anything

SPOILER!!: notes
1. Fill the cup 3/4 full with hot water and add the tea leaves

2. Allow tea to brew for 2-3 minutes. You still can add sugar or honey for the taste. Make sure that your mind has been cleared and relaxed enough.

3. Once the tea is cool enough, hold your cup with your NON-DOMINANT hand and sip your tea.

Once relaxed, identify the issue foremost in your mind. As you attempt to think of nothing in particular, is there a stubborn thought that keeps returning to your attention? If so, that is the subject of this reading. Focus on that thought. If nothing in particular comes to mind, then this will be a general tea leaf reading. Focus on your breath and the taste of the tea.

Leave a small amount of tea at the bottom of your cup.

4. Hold your nearly empty teacup in your hand and give it three good swirls. The tea leaves will disperse around the interior of cup. Gently dump out the remaining liquid by turning your teacup over into a saucer. Wait at least three breaths before turning your cup back over.

5. Begin reading the leaf from the handle and read clockwise. Make a notation of the first symbol you see. Mentally divide the cup into three sections: rim, middle and base.

Rim - area is above the tea level when you first poured your tea represents the current moment in time.

Middle - area between the rim and bottom, represents near future (2 weeks)
*Both the rim and middle section represent influences in your outcome.

Base - The bottom of the cup below the middle section, represents the ultimate answer or conclusion.

6. Open your textbook and write your results in a parchment.


Smiling, she looked at the first instruction. Okay. So she needed to fill the cup. She took her cup, and went over to the cauldron of hot water. Carefully Harriet filled up her cup to the correct level. Then slowly she headed back to her seat. She didn't want to spill hot water all over her hand, so she was really careful.

Now she had to add her leaves. Gently, she placed the tea leaves into her cup. She hadn't had a cup of tea made with actual tea leaves and not a tea bag before, so it was going to be a nice new experience actually. Okay. Time to brew for a few minutes. She could do that. She added a little bit of sugar into the tea as it brewed though. She needed sugar or it would taste yacky.

Smiling, she waited as her tea brewed.
