What’s Your Tea Personality?
As a kid in the late 2000s, there was nothing better than flipping through a glossy stack of magazines while waiting at the hair salon for my mom. While she sat under the dryer, I was knee-deep in quizzes:
What lipstick shade matches your mood?
Which heartthrob is your perfect match? (It was always Zac Efron, obviously)
Which accessory is totally your vibe?
Those quizzes were fun, flirty, and full of personality! And honestly? I still love them.
So in honor of those iconic Seventeen and Teen Vogue days, I’ve brewed up a throwback-style quiz to help you find your perfect Rishi tea match! Whether you’re a grounded Jade Cloud or a bold China Breakfast, your ideal steep is waiting.

You're bold, bright, and keep things interesting. You’re easily excitable and love to roll with the punches. Tangerine Ginger’s zesty citrus and spicy kick capture your spark and spontaneous spirit.
There was something magical about those afternoons at the hair salon—the sound of my mom’s laugh across the room, the smell of hairspray wafting through the space, all while I sat cross-legged and totally immersed in finding out which lip gloss matched my mood or who my celebrity crush should be. That feeling, the joy of discovering something fun and so you is exactly what inspired this quiz. Growing up doesn’t mean letting go of those little rituals that made us feel seen, understood, and a little more ourselves.
