Description
The 585-hectare Margaret's Hope tea estate is one of Darjeeling's most prestigious plantations. "Muscatel" tea notes bring to mind the fruity smoothness of muscat grapes. Its unique bouquet is due to the leaves' interaction with an insect – the tea jassid.
This powerful, aromatic second flush Darjeeling offers a delicious fruity and floral bouquet, which then develops profound honeyed and spiced notes..
