Margaret's Hope First Flush Darjeeling – Luxury Muscatel Darjeeling Tea

Margaret's Hope is one of the five most famous tea gardens in India — a name every connoisseur of top-quality tea knows well. Margaret's Hope First Flush Darjeeling comes from the very first picking of the April harvest. It is only about 30% oxidized and fired just once, preserving the fresh, delicate character that makes first-flush Darjeeling so sought after.

This famous luxury tea is light, bright and incredibly refreshing. It's delicate yet full of the prized muscatel grape notes Darjeeling is known for, finishing with a clean, floral and crisp character. The estate itself carries a touching story: Margaret's Hope Tea Estate was named in honor of the estate owner's daughter, who adored the beautiful gardens but sadly died at a young age. Nearly a century later, the estate continues to produce world-famous teas in her memory.

It's a good tea...but why is it in a category of "black tea"? I'd place it rather under the "green"...

My first Darjeeling and immediately it became one of my top teas. I'll be back for more.

Three washes in, this Darjeeling is still nice and floral with a backbone made for morning drinking. The low level of oxidization allows you to taste the leaf and keeps fresh cut notes alive. From must filled beginnings to citrus tinged finish, it's an impressive brunch cup.
