How you like your tea is a deeply personal choice, but apparently it also reveals surprising details about your personality.
How do you take your tea? Black? Sugar and a splash of milk? Super milky? The choices are endless, and while some may judge you, it's completely up to you.
That being said, apparently there are certain personality traits that can be attributed to how you like your brew. Thortful has put together a chart describing what your perfect cuppa shade says about you. Ranging from black tea to milky water, there are eight different personality types. Do you feel seen, or maybe exposed?
Black tea
1. Black tea (thortful)
Tea can increase Alzheimer's risk - but only if you drink 13 cups or more a day
If you like your tea black, with no sugar or milk, you don't play by the rules - or that's at least what you want people to think. According to Thortful, it's possible you'd prefer to be a hipster that drinks black coffee, but that you actually hate coffee.
Over-stewed
2. Over-stewed (thortful)If you like your tea over-stewed, that being very strong with just the tiniest hint milk, you're likely "one of those people with very strong opinions that you absolutely long to share with anyone any everyone".
Builder's brew
3. Builder's brew (thortful)You'll no doubt be well acquainted with this, as it's a classic British brew. According to Thortful, if you like your tea this shade of tea, you'll be a "classic salt of the earth type of person", dependable and cool-headed. And apparently you'll also be more picky about your tea than anyone else on the scale. Any lighter or darker just won't do.
Perfectly balanced
4. Perfectly balanced (thortful)This is counted as the 'perfect brew' on the scale. If you take your tea like this, you're "highly confident, and know exactly what you like and how to go about getting it". Apparently, anyone looking at your tea will no doubt be drinking "yeah, that looks like a good cuppa".
Bit beige
Blast ‘deadly’ visceral fat by swapping your cuppa with this one healthy drink
5. Bit beige (thortful)Unfortunately, if you like your tea a "bit beige" there's not a lot about you as a person. "You'll watch exactly one episode of your latest boxset and be in bed by 9pm," according to the scale. You'll also "possibly still eat the occasional turkey dinosaur for dinner and your favourite method of preparing potatoes is boiling".
Slapdash
6. Slapdash (thortful)If you like your tea "slapdash", it means you're "a bit haphazard", because you "probably didn't leave this to stew anywhere near long enough". Interestingly, you probably pronounce 'scone' to rhyme with 'phone', and are one of those people who would like to make your tea in a teapot, but does't know how long to let it brew for.
Vanilla wafer
7. Vanilla wafer (thortful)We're getting towards the seriously light shade of teas on the scale not, and apparently you "may not be the sharpest spoon in the tea drawer". However, on the plus side, you know what you like. And "what you like is a cup of tea with only a passing familiarity with a tea bag". Or, you could be the type of person that doesn't normally drink tea, but still offers to make a round. This means you've probably overpoured the milk
Milky water
8. Milky water (thortful)If this is your jam, you probably just want to drink milk. This is good for calcium, but apparently it's not a good cup of tea. The scale simply says: "Don't be this person."
