Tassology, or tea leaf (coffee grounds) readings have been around as long as humankind has poured heated water on natural materials and ingested the infusion.

It is a common thing for the human mind to find patterns and images in naturally occurring materials.

Watch children lying on their backs and pointing out images they see in the clouds. It is sometimes very easy to see images in tea leaves. birds, fish, dogs, hats, umbrellas, even angels. I will admit it may take a bit of imagination to see the more complex things, but as long as your mind sees them it is then a short hop to wanting to interpret those images.

It doesn't take much of a leap to predict a trip if you see a boat or plane, however, many of the symbols have interpretation that go back much further than our current understanding. Which iswhy different cultures see different meanings for the same symbol. Like a black cat, which is a bad omen in North America and a good one in Britain.

Can you tear open and use the contents of a tea bag as makeshift loose-leaf?

You could, but it isn't advisable as the "tea" in a tea bag is closer to powder than to loose leaf tea. When making tea bags the companies tend to use the parts left at the bottom of a loose leave style of tea. I have yet to find a tea strainer that will take the "bits" out of the tea. Even if your purpose in using the tea is to "read" the leaves, the powder is so fine the reading is rarely accurate.
