'''Tasseography''' (also known as '''tasseomancy''' or '''tassology''') is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in [[tea]] leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments.

'''Taseografía''' (también llamada '''taseomancia''' o '''tasología''') es un método de adivinación que consiste en interpretar patrones en las hojas de [[té]], posos de café, o sedimentos del vino.

The terms derive from the French word ''tasse'' (cup), which in turn derives from the cognate Arabic word ''tassa'', and the Greek suffixes -graph (writing), -logy (study of), and -mancy (divination).

El término deriva de la palabra francesa ''tasse'' (taza), la cual a su vez deriva de la palabra árabe ''tassa'', y de los sufijos griegos -graphos (escritura), -logos (estudio de), y -mancia (adivinación).

 

 

The first inklings of Western tasseography can be traced to medieval European fortune tellers who developed their readings from splatters of wax, lead, and other molten substances. This evolved into tea-leaf reading in the seventeenth century, a short time after Dutch merchants introduced tea to Europe via trade routes to China.
