What Aesthetic Are You?
Cottagecore, Clean Girl or Dark Academia? Find the aesthetic that is so you.
You are a party in a cup. Like bubble tea, you're colorful, playful and full of happy surprises. You know the newest trends, the best snack spots and the songs everyone will be singing next month, and you never say no to a spontaneous plan.
Your energy is pure joy. You send the funniest memes, you take the cutest pictures and you can turn waiting in line into the best part of the day. People love how easy it is to be around you: no pressure, just fun.
But don't let the sweetness fool anyone. You're creative, quick and braver than you look, always trying new things while others are still thinking about it. Keep being your bright, bubbly self. Life is too short for boring drinks.

How to enjoy your Bubble Tea
- Make the tea strong. Brew it double-strength and let it cool, so the ice and milk don’t water it down.
- Cook the pearls fresh. Tapioca pearls are best within a few hours, while they’re soft and chewy.
- Pick your sweetness. At home you choose: 25%, 50% or full sweet, just like at the shop.
