Visit Lindels web site - Tea - Wise

 

I personally approached Lindel for this give-away because I love tea and know how uplifting a freshly brewed pot of tea can be. I never use tea bags.  My two favourite teas at the moment are chai from “my chai” and green tea or jasmine. I usually have one chai a day and lots of green teas.

Lindell’s book is gorgeous with fabulous pictures of teas, tea pots, cups, cakes and of course tea  leaf readings.  You are welcome to zip across to Lindell’s web site for more information. You might even want to visit her at the Observatory Hotel, Kent Street Sydney and enjoy a high tea experience with a tea leaf reading as well.

 

 Five Things I Learnt About Tea From This Book:

  1. The Chinese were the first tea drinkers.  It is believed the father of Chinese Medicine Emperor ShenNung discovered tea around 5,000 years ago.
  2. Green, black, oolong and the highly prized white tea all come from the same plant - the Chinese camellia.
  3. To brew black tea use a teaspoon per person and one for the pot
  4. Oolong tea is halfway between black and green tea and is not processed as long as black tea
  5. The best white teas are made by plucking the new-growth bud and the first two leaves from the tip of each stem. A white tea has minimal processing and is the highest anti-oxidant content of all tea. It is never drunk with milk

 

Five Things I learnt About Tea Leaf Reading:

Lindell has covered how to prepare your cup for the ideal tea leaf reading, the geography of the cup and a long list of images and their meanings which may appear in your cup. Here’s just snippet.

  1. It was the wandering Romany people who brought tea leaf reading to Europe.
  2. There is a geography to your tea cup. Leaves rising up towards the top of the cup indicate improving conditions, whilst leaves around the base of the cup suggest it is less fortunate.
  3. Butterfly pictures in your tea leaves suggest a yearning for spiritual freedom and to live in the present moment
  4. A horshoe picture in your tea leaves - upturned suggests lucky times ahead if the shoe is pointing downwards your luck has run out
  5. An axe in your tea leaves helps you clear the dead wood from your life and opens up the way ahead

    Wow Carole,

    This is awesome, I know Lindel, we taught together at Tafe, both did a Master of applied Science at the same time. Here I come to read anout you monthly giveaway and get an up date on Lindel. I knew she was doing readings at the Observatory. The Tea site is wonderful

    Thank you- I just love the online world, what a way to catch up with what your friends are up to.

    Sounds very cool! I know absolutely nothing about tea leaves, but maybe it’s time to learn :)

    Well even if I don’t win this it is something I might need to request for a Christmas present. I have slowly started to get into tea, I have been drinking peppermint tea for a few years now (my parents bulk grow herbs that go to Southern Light Herbs ) and have been enjoying it and someone has recently introduced me to a lemon style tea. I know there is so much more to learn and try and I can’t wait

    Hey Carole
    I have received the book and I simply LOVE it. I have read it many times over and have devoured more pots of tea than ever before in an endeavour to read my tea leaves. What a blast I am having.
    An amazing little book full of facts and insights, I will do a positive review within the next few days - will link back to you so that you know when it’s up.
    I think I feel a new therapy coming on - Thera Tea: a combination of symbol work and tea leaf reading :)
    Thank you for running the competition Carole and thank you universe for having Carole pull my name.
