One of the most unique Darjeeling plantation – Margaret’s Hope is literally like no other. Not only does the plantation does have a great history but it also boasts of a unique ability to produces excellent teas throughout the season. This tea is a testament to the planters at Margaret’s Hope. A summer black tea that is light and yet has a good body, a light golden liquor that gives a strong flowery taste when rolled in the mouth. We highly recommend this.
Margaret’s Hope is a world famous name when it comes to Darjeeling Tea. Earlier known as Bara Ringtong, it was started in 1830 as a small plantation and became commercially viable in 1864 with China variety of plants. The estate is a very picturesque garden with two rivers flowing through it and has occasional views of the incredible Himalyan peaks, the abundance of ferns and trees, the wild flowers and rushing streams, the velvety moss, lichens and orchids seem to beckon the China bushes to create some of the most exquisite teas.
