Tasseography, also known as tasseomancy, is the art of tea reading. Tea leaf reading is the ancient fortune telling art interpreting patterns made by tea leaves in the cup. Besides the reading of tea leaves, the tradition of tasseography includes the reading of coffee grounds and wine sediments.

The terms derive from the French word tasse (cup), which in turn derives from the Arabic tassa (cup), and the Greek suffixes -graph (to write), -logy (expression), ology (study of or science of), and -mancy (divination)

Although tasseography is most commonly associated with Gypsy fortunetellers, the tradition of tea leaf reading arises independently from ancient Asia and Ancient Greece. Modern tasseography, popularized in the Victorian era as a parlor game, has also been associated with the Scotch, Irish and cultures throughout Eastern Europe.
