Margaret's Hope 1st Flush Darjeeling Black Tea

From the misty heights of the Margaret's Hope garden, this spring black tea is harvested between March and April in the bright, cool foothills of the Himalayas. Nestled between 950 and 1830 meters above sea level, this iconic Darjeeling garden yields a First Flush tea with a refined character, a testament to a delicate terroir steeped in history.

The fine, hand-rolled leaves, when brewed, reveal a coppery-orange hue and a vibrant bouquet. The initial taste is floral, almost ethereal, then the cup opens up to notes of citrus, light wood, and yellow-fleshed fruit. A hint of Muscat punctuates the long, graceful finish. This Darjeeling is best enjoyed during a quiet moment, in the morning or afternoon, when one desires liveliness without harshness.
