Turkish coffee reading is a practice for interpreting residual coffee grounds in the cup and on the saucer. It started in Turkey in the 16th century.
Nowadays, tasseography is the academic term for Turkish coffee fortune telling. This type of coffee leaves thick, muddy sediment at the bottom of the cup. If you swirl the cup and turn it upside down then the grounds will fall down. Consequently, they will leave some patterns on the surface of the cup. Of course, there are a lot of people who believe in coffee cup reading. The images and shapes created in the coffee ground have predictable future happening meanings. Coffee grounds’ meaning became available after decoding certain shapes that people started seeing in their cups. An expert Turkish coffee fortune teller can see special icons that either suggest symbols or they relate to certain events |
