Cultural Heritage

Tea leaf reading, or tasseography, traces its origins to ancient Chinese traditions, later spreading throughout Asia and gaining prominence in European cultures during the Victorian era. This art of divination uses the patterns formed by loose tea leaves to gain insights and guidance.

Each herb in this blend carries its own rich cultural history: Chamomile has been revered since ancient Egyptian times, while lavender held sacred status in Roman ceremonies. Meadowsweet was prized by Celtic druids, yarrow was used in Chinese divination practices, and calendula featured prominently in Medieval European traditions.

Modern practitioners continue these time-honored traditions, incorporating both the meditative aspects of tea preparation and the interpretative art of reading tea leaves.
