Millie Bobby Brown Keeps a Box of This Tea in Her Bag

They say there’s nothing like a fresh cup of tea, and Millie Bobby Brown can’t help but agree. That’s why the English actor always keeps a box of tea bags in her bag at all times.

“No matter where I go, [I] always have a cup of tea on hand,” Brown shares in a recent video with Vogue, holding up a box of her go-to brand: PG Tips in their original black tea variety.

Here’s how The Electric State star prefers her cup, from the strength to how much sugar she adds into the drink. Plus, she also shared the snack she loves keeping on standby—and she told EatingWell all about it in a 2023 interview.

As for the strength of her tea, Brown likes a “builder’s brew,” which is British lingo for a strong cup of tea. While not necessarily black tea, a builder’s brew is still dark in color, lightened by “just a splash of milk,” per Brown.

The Stranger Things actor also stirs in two sugar packets, and instead of throwing away the tea bag once steeped, she leaves it in as she drinks “like a true Brit.”

Also in her purse is a package of dried mango, specifically Solely Organic Dried Fruit Mango Strips. In a previous interview with EatingWell, Brown explained that this snack helps her stay vitalized on set.

“Dried mango is always a favorite, and I always think of it as an energy booster,” she told us. “I’m not somebody who eats a lot of candy, so for me, when I’m needing that sugar boost, dried mango is always something I go to.”

In the video with Vogue, Brown shared that she likes when the dried fruit is “all stuck together,” which she claims is a “weird” preference but we find it relatable. 

Both tea and dried fruit are healthy choices to keep on standby. A cup of tea on the regular has been shown to improve blood pressure, support immune health and keep you hydrated. Plus, mango (whether dried or fresh) is a gut-healthy, skin-healthy option as the fruit is loaded with antioxidants and fiber. Overall, we’re giving Brown’s picks a double thumbs up for nutrition and for taste.
