The Tea and Tarot Cozy Mystery series pairs two of the coziest things imaginable: a tearoom and tarot card readings. Kirsten Weiss launched the series in 2019 with Steeped in Murder, and it has grown to eleven books through 2025, making it one of her most active ongoing series.
Set in the town of San Borromeo, the books follow a tearoom owner who has a knack for turning up at crime scenes. The tarot element adds a light paranormal touch without going full supernatural. Tea-related wordplay shows up throughout, from Oolong, Farewell to Never Say Chai to Darjeeling Dead, keeping the tone breezy even when the plots involve murder.
The series has found a loyal readership among fans who enjoy cozy mysteries with a mystical twist. Each book works as a standalone mystery, but the character development and romantic subplots reward readers who follow the series from the beginning.
