Margaret's Hope 2nd Flush Darjeeling

Darjeelings are often referred to as the champagne of tea. On the foothills of the Himalayas

amongst wildflowers, one of the most sought-after teas in the world is produced, having a rich balanced fruity body, and a lovely bright cup
 it's a delight from this famous estate renowned for consistently highest quality.

 

The bushes at Margaret’s Hope are almost exclusively Chinese and tend the tippy green appearance and fragrance of the leaf, growing at high
altitudes with cooler weather conditions produce a smaller but better quality harvest with a complex bouquet some would describe as nutty.
 The best time of year for a developed flavour is during the "second flush” (end of May-end of June) in this period Darjeeling
are incomparable to any other tea in the world.

My favourite tea

The tea has a lovely hint of honey, it is almost moorish to drink. Delightful to sip on a wintery morning. The orangey tones if brewed for not too long (I let it sit for 4 minutes) and colour of the tea is just magical.
I am astonished how fast the delivery service was! Thank you.
