During [[Ebon Gate 2006|Ebon Gate]] of 5106 there was a shop called "A Taste of Truth" that sold tea leaves you could brew. A byproduct of this brewing was that leaves appeared in the bottom of the cup that left images for viewing. Since then, other shops have sold similar teas, including the [[Wehnimer's Landing Baker's Shop#Tea Room|Tea Room]] of the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Baker's Shop and [[PSFShop:Tea-Lightful#Tea-Lightful, Show Room|Tea-Lightful]].

==Example Messaging==
<pre{{log2}}>
>drink my teacup
You take a drink from your rose blossom teacup. Subtle flavors of tart lychee, kiwi, and mango infuse the light vanilla body of the white tea, adding a sweet fruit-like aftertaste.
The tea is a bit weak.
As you finish your sip, you notice some leavings at the bottom of the teacup.
You have one quaff left.

>look in my teacup ''(1st look)''
Gazing down into the nearly empty teacup, you notice some leavings low in the cup. Turning the teacup slightly, you see the letter "L" formed by some leavings. Tilting the teacup toward you, you make out the image of a flying bird in the leavings.

>look in my teacup ''(2nd look)''
You turn the teacup and view the leavings inside at a different angle, making out the images of a lute from this point of view.

>look in my teacup ''(3rd look)''
You turn the teacup and view the leavings inside at a different angle, making out the images of a shoes from this point of view.

>look in my teacup ''(4th look and beyond)''
You turn the teacup in an attempt to discern any other images in the leavings, but fail to notice any other than what you originally saw.
