Tea Omens And Superstitions
There are a number of omens about food and beverages. It is not surprising since our life depends on nutrition a lot. The person’s body, energy and mood are much influenced by what he eats. A lot of actions that seem random may speak about the future events. This is what you can also say about drinking tea and superstitions related to sharing this beverage with family and friends.
Beliefs about this drink are connected with many spheres of life. First of all, it is material wealth. A full tea mug, from which the liquid almost spills, symbolizes a comfortable life. Therefore, it is considered a bad omen to underfill the tea cup. It is not so bad if you can’t drink it all. As an option, you need to get a smaller tea mug.
There is also a sign that a guy who "saves" boiling water will marry a girl with plump lips. But if you constantly underfill the tea cup, the interpretation is one - constant poverty.
You can tell fortunes on tea, as well as on coffee grounds. So, tea leaves that fall from the teapot mean news. You can also find out the content of the news. According to signs, if there is an even number of tea leaves, nothing bad will be reported
Many superstitions about drinking tea are related to love: a woman and a man pouring tea together will fall in love with each other and have a child in the future.
It is considered that men should add cream only after sugar, otherwise they risk losing their significant other.
According to an English superstition, if a girl puts the teapot with its spout to the wall, she will be lonely.
Frequent shaking of the teapot will lead to a quarrel. If there is only one teapot, and several people pour from it, this is also a bad sign. A Japanese superstition says that pouring a drink with the lid closed leads to death.

What does tea with salt symbolize?
Few people would want to drink such tea. But if someone mixed up salt and sugar and accidentally poured salt into tea, this can be considered a lucky coincidence. Instead of trouble or quarrel, the person got off with a salty drink. Other signs advise being more vigilant. A careless word or action will lead to serious problems. They will primarily concern love or family relationships.
Burning yourself with tea omens
If you believe in signs, you don’t need to wait for the tea to cool down. On the contrary, if a person burns himself while drinking, this promises changes in life. Some people think that they will definitely be pleasant and will bring a lot of new things, although they may cause some trouble, according to others. However, superstition has another interpretation. The one who burned himself should be careful. An accident or other trouble may happen to him. The stronger the burn, the more dangerous the situation can be. Therefore, you should usually allow the to cool down a little.
Superstitions about spilling tea
This not very pleasant incident promises monetary gain, stability in life, success in all affairs. It is good if the tea was spilled in a hurry, and not through carelessness. Otherwise, it may incur the anger of higher powers. Since ancient times, it was believed that awkward people are wasteful, and fate punishes them for this.
In addition, the interpretation depends on the spiller: for an unmarried girl, the omen promises a meeting with her soulmate. Within a year, she will go down the aisle, and the marriage will be successful. A single man spilled tea on himself - he will marry a beautiful person with plump lips. When both the husband and wife are to blame for the "spilling accident", they will soon become parents.
Dry tea leaves also have magical powers. According to the sign, spilling them on the table or the floor means sudden news or a surprise, and not always a pleasant one. Most likely, someone in the household will get into a strange, awkward situation. Perhaps there will be misunderstandings in relationships with friends or relatives, protracted conflicts will begin.
Spilled tea leaves can no longer be used for food or stored.
Putting too much sugar in tea omens
This sign is completely opposite to the one about salty tea. Of course, a sweet drink tastes better than a salty one. But this promises problems in the future. Now a person enjoys a too sweet drink, and later there will be bitterness in his life. Therefore, they always try to pour a little less sugar into the cup, and some superstitious people drink tea without any additives. It is important not to be distracted while preparing the drink, so as not to put too much sugar. Here, too, the superstition about wastefulness and carelessness "works", for which a person can pay in the future. Of course, the sign does not work for those with a sweet tooth who simply like sweeter tea.
Choking on tea superstitions
When a person chokes on tea, it is unpleasant and even dangerous if he is alone. In this way, higher powers send signs: someone from your acquaintances or relatives is looking for a meeting; perhaps someone will soon come to visit or just on an important matter.
If you happened to choke on tea in someone else's house, this means you will visit this place many more times. If this happened during a conversation - the one who is talking at this time is actually lying; choking on tea during breakfast - predicts an important meeting before noon. But the sign does not mean anything if at that moment the person was in a hurry.
To drink or not to drink? Omens about someone else’s tea
Esotericists do not recommend drinking tea that was poured for another person. First of all, this concerns your relatives or friends. This will lead to a quarrel between the one who drank and who owned the mug. The sign can also be explained from a logical point of view. Suddenly taking someone else's food and drink is strange and unhygienic, especially if there is no shortage of other dishes.
In addition, it is believed that the one who violated the ban in this way will take away the problems and negativity of another person. After all, the drink that has already been drank retains the energy of the owner.
