It’s a Goth Day prompt for Vegan MoFo 2016 and what better tea to pair this prompt with than Darjeeling Beauty Black from The Kettlery. Darjeelings can seem to be more dark and brooding teas, something that we adore in their temperament!
Darjeeling Beauty Black from The Kettlery has a lovely name and a delightful taste, too!
The dry leaves of Darjeeling Beauty Black from The Kettlery are multi-colored…various tones of brown, muted greens, and shades of grey. Some look crispy and others look a bit fuzzy.
Darjeeling Beauty Black from The Kettlery has that stereotypical Darjeeling flavor I have come to recognize well over the years but it’s a pretty strong tasting Darjeeling Black Tea which is nice because others are a bit too delicate for those hard-to-get-into-mornings!
This specific Darjeeling Beauty Black from The Kettlery smells like sweet, wet wood and also has floral notes, too! This was a mighty-fine Darjeeling, indeed!
Here’s the scoop!

Delight Pho from Millie’s Savory Teas #VeganMoFo2016
Fusion Food is the prompt for today’s Vegan MoFo topic. So what better way to chat about fusion foods than a savory green tea!
Delight Pho from Millies Savory Teas is also known by Delight Pho Vegetable Sipping Broth. They aren’t currently on the stores website but I wanted to mention these single-serve steepables which are known to many as comfort food in a broth (which is also trademarked by Millies).
Delight Pho from Millies Savory Teas – as is all of the sipping broths – was the brainchild of a school teacher who was looking for something healthy to sip on while busy during the school day. This flavor is gluten-free and vegan! The ingredients include an organic vegetable blend of carrots, celery, and onion. I could taste the onion first and foremost followed by the celery and then the carrot. There was also a nice amount of garlic in this. There was sea salt, too. Basil was there but not prominent yet appreciated. Another loud shout of an ingredient was the spicy red peppers and spices which were a nice wake up that is for sure! How is this a tea you might ask? Because Delight Pho from Millies Savory Teas also contains green tea!
The flavor was much like a Spring Onion and Garlic broth I like from a local health food store. It was a bit salty but only contained 280mg of sodium which isn’t bad at all. I didn’t really have anything for lunch one day while at work and didn’t want to go out and try and find something to spend money on so this worked out perfectly. I added the bag to my cup and added hot water to my cup and there you have it! It was spicy, savory, herbally, and had that comforting flavor combo of carrots, celery, onion, and garlic!
I liked Delight Pho from Millies Savory Teas but I do adore Millie’s Spicy Tortilla, too, but so far this is my second favorite of their flavors! I can’t wait to try more of them!
