Companies that trade in packaged tea have occasionally offered fortune telling tea cups as premiums with the purchase of their tea or have issued instructional booklets about tea leaf reading which were included in packages of tea. Lyons, the big player in the exterior signage "tea wars," did not indulge in metaphysics, but Lipton's, Red Rose, and others produced marked divination cups for readers or sold their marked cups with "tea included."
