Vintage Yellow Rose Tea Leaf Reading Tea Set
A one-of-a-kind vintage find for the intuitive tea drinker. This elegantly aged teacup and saucer pair classic yellow roses with authentic tasseomancy symbols from the 1700s, printed around the interior rim: the very symbols tea leaf readers have used for centuries to interpret the language of leaves. The approximate age of this tea set is late 1950s to early 1960s.
What you can do with it
Tea reading is tactile and immediate, no deck required. It is ideal for intuitive storytelling, daily check-ins, and anyone who finds card-based divination too abstract. Many readers use both.
Exact size and what you receive
The included tea blends are optimised for legible leaves. For daily practice, choose unflavoured loose-leaf with larger cuts: assam, keemun, or green tea are all excellent options. The samples typically cover 6 to 10 readings, depending on scoop size and cup strength.
Why it's easy to begin
No prior experience or psychic ability is required. Tasseography is a learned, structured skill, and the guidebook and video course walk you through setup, spreads, and symbol interpretation step by step. Watch our demo how-to videos to see it in action. Every purchase also comes with an invitation to our members only Tea Table Circle, learn more here. To access the free video course, simply add a note at checkout requesting enrolment and we will email your access link. We will not add you to any marketing lists unless you ask.
Design and craftsmanship
As with all upcycled vintage pieces, slight wear may be present. This set carries a small blemish on the handle, what we lovingly call a Kiln Kiss: a natural mark from its time in the kiln, a reminder of the life it has lived. Please review all images carefully before purchasing, including the handle detail.
All images and accents are food-safe. For longevity, hand wash only and avoid abrasive scrubbers. Do not microwave, due to the metallic detailing. An occasional soft-cloth polish will preserve the lustre of the gold trim.
Course and guide included
Every set includes an illustrated guidebook to decode symbols and spreads, along with a free video course to master tea leaf reading. Scan the QR code in the booklet provided, or add a note at checkout requesting enrolment and we will email your access link.

These cups are made to be used, not just admired. Most are porcelain and some are New Bone China, both vegan friendly with no animal bone ash, and the imagery is kiln fired into the glaze, so it will not fade, scratch off or wash away with daily use. Karin has put them through extensive testing of her own for longevity. Hand washing is recommended to protect the 24kt gold and platinum detail.
Yes. Every cup is lead free, tested by Karin herself, and the imagery is food safe because it is kiln fired into the glaze using commercial factory grade equipment, which makes it permanent. That means you can drink from your cup every day with complete peace of mind. Please note that cups with gold or platinum detail must never be put in the microwave.
You do not need any experience at all. Each set comes with a symbols guidebook and a QR code for the free online video course, valued at 110 dollars, where Karin walks you through everything from brewing the cup to reading the symbols with confidence.
Loose leaf tea works best, as the leaves settle into the shapes you will be reading. Every teacup set arrives with two tea samplers, a green tea and a black tea, so you can begin the moment it lands on your table, and Karin's own reading blends are available in 25 gram bags when you are ready for more. If you prefer tea bags, the course shows you how to work with those too.
