Interested in tea leaf reading?
Hello, everyone, and thank you for supporting "It's All Ephemera"!
You can't read tea leaves without tea, so tasseomancers tend to become tea-lovers, and that means sampling many types of tea. You can't buy tea without a tea company to grow it and importers to blend and pack it. And the tea companies can't tell you how wonderful their tea is without promotional material. Back in the early 20th century, at the height of the proliferation of grocery distributors, every tea company handed out brochures and booklets to magnify the glory of their products, and since this era was also the height of graphic art and design, the tea company booklets were works of stupendous artistry. This week we present a sneak peek at a wonderfully illustrated gallery of antique and vintage tea company booklets. Tea leaf reading is one of the Mystic Arts -- but as a reader, i always put the emphasis firmly on Art. These lovely graphics will be on display at the Mystic Tea Room web site for everyone to enjoy in May of 2026, but my dear Patrons will have access to it for one full year before the public does, in gratitude for their financial support.

The Mystic Tea Room web site is dedicated to the traditional art of fortune telling by tea leaves, also known as tea leaf reading, cup reading, cup tossing, divination by tea leaves, tasseomancy, and tasseography. If you are not yet familiar with the public portion of the site, check it out!
