Astrid was still beaming because of the four points awarded for her previous answer. She was glad that she had taken the time to study this subject a bit before class. Raising her hand for a second time, she said, "It isn't advised to use a tea bag for a Tasseomancy reading due mainly for the fact that the leaves from a tea bag are cut too finely to form recognizable figures in the cup. The tea leaf reading has its own historic system of symbolism that does not correspond exactly with other systems, such as symbolic dream interpretation. That's why it is best to use hand rolled teas so that we get the most accurate predictions." She felt pretty satisfied with her answer and hoped that she didn't forget any key facts.
