Time to Spill Some Tea

written by Sarah Peterson

Black Tea

If your tea of choice is a bag of black tea leaves, you’re highly productive, goal-oriented and determined to succeed in life. 

You’re busy, which means you’re looking for that caffeine fix, but you’re also mindful of your health. We’re willing to bet you’re from London, where tea drinking isn’t just a preference, but a prerequisite for residency. 

Your perfect vacation is walking the cobblestone streets of Paris while munching on a French baguette the size of your arm. 

In your free time, you’re reading a book at your favorite café (where a variety of teas are on the menu, of course). 

Your ideal cocktail is a glass of champagne, extra bubbly. 

You’re… productive and work well in a fast-paced environment. 


 

Bubble Tea

Bubble tea drinkers are trendsetters. Originating in Asia before eventually hitting American shores, bubble tea is the latest and greatest. It’s strong, sweet and the perfect way to indulge in a delish drink. If bubble tea is your favorite, you likely reside in a stylish city, where you pay an obscene amount in rent but refuse to pay the steep price for a Starbucks coffee every morning. y

Your perfect vacation is venturing into the Californian desert for Coachella every year. 

In your free time, you like to discover the best foodie spots in your city. 

Your ideal cocktail is the sugariest drink on the menu. 

You’re… friendly, energetic and bubbly; you’re the type of person who loves striking up a convo with a total stranger.

 

Green Tea

Green tea drinkers are calm, health-conscious and in touch with their emotions. They’re also always late, no matter if they’re meeting a friend for lunch or attempting to get to work. If green tea is your favorite, you’re constantly walking to the beat of your own drum, and enjoying the view while you’re at it. 

Your perfect vacation is a South American yoga retreat in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, where cell service is an unknown entity. 

In your free time, you’re sleeping in until midafternoon. 

Your ideal cocktail is n/a; you don’t drink alcohol. 

You’re… low-key, kind and live in the moment. 

 

Herbal Tea

For you, having some tea is more than just a way to relax, it’s a ritual. Which is why herbal tea is your *cup of tea*. Though your favorite place to enjoy it is by a campfire, one sip brings you closer to nature even when you’re stuck inside. Just like you, it’s unique and full of flavor and life. 

Your perfect vacation is hiking your way through all the national parks. 

In your free time, you’re tending to your garden and your collection of plants, which isn’t out of control at all. 

Your ideal cocktail is anything made with local liquor and your homemade herbs. 

You’re… mindful, self-aware and at peace with the world. 

 

White Tea

If white tea is your favorite, you are gentle, kind in nature and care about other people. You always find the good in a bad situation, even when no one else can. You don’t care for material items, but rather aim to build long-lasting, meaningful relationships with those around you. 

Your perfect vacation is somewhere on a beach — blue skies, the mid-70s, no waves and soft sand all around. 

In your free time, you’re volunteering for an organization or cause you care about. 

Your ideal cocktail is a crisp, dry glass of Pinot Grigio. 

You’re… thoughtful, caring and put the needs of others above your own. 

  

Oolong Tea

Just like oolong tea, you don’t fall under any one category. You’re a little bit this and a little bit that. You’re the master of finding balance in life. You love a day spent outdoors just as much as a night spent on the couch eating takeout. 

Your perfect vacation is one without plans. You let the journey decide your next destination. 

In your free time, you like creating abstract paintings while listening to your favorite records. 

Your ideal cocktail is your own concoction that you continue to perfect each time you make it. 

You’re… creative and easygoing. You enjoy the little things in life and always make time for those closest to you. 

 

Coffee

Lastly, coffee. Not a tea, but a popular drink choice for many, making it worthy of inclusion. If you’re an avid coffee drinker, you’re either working obscene hours at your corporate job, have a newborn waking up every two hours or have a caffeine addiction. Basically, coffee drinkers are a special breed of people. You’re not casually sipping on a cup of joe to slow down and enjoy your day. You’re gulping that bad boy down in hopes that the caffeine will kick in seconds later, regardless of whether you burn your tongue in the process. 

Your perfect vacation is to any Italian city with an espresso machine. 

In your free time, you’re working on your side hustle or starting a new home project. 

Your ideal cocktail is a shot of Jameson — quick, smooth and to the point. 

You’re… driven, strong-willed and an early riser. 

 

Let’s be honest. Coffee isn’t for everyone. That’s where tea comes into the equation. And when walking into your local Teavana store, the type of dried leaves you pick out can say a lot about who you are. What would we learn about you if we looked in your tea cupboard?
