Learn how to Read Tea Leaves

Tea leaf reading is an ancient divination art that does exactly this. It began in China in the 14th century and has been passed down through generations as a way to seek insight, guidance and meaning.

Join Anne in the gardens for a relaxed tea-leaf reading experience designed to be shared with friends. Sip tea, compare symbols, and notice what the leaves might be reflecting back to you in a way that feels intuitive, curious and fun.

This experience isn't about predicting the future or learning a set of rules. It's about slowing down, asking better questions, and seeing situations from a slightly different angle, together.

You'll be gently guided through the process, share a few laughs, compare cups, and leave with a simple guide so you can keep the ritual going at home, over tea with people you love.
