BLACK TEA | Loose Leaf Margaret's Hope Darjeeling

Darjeeling Tea at a Glance

Our loose leaf Margaret's Hope is a TGFOP grade Darjeeling black tea from Darjeeling, India, made with one ingredient: black tea. It is medium in caffeine, with a delicate, muscatel, almost wine-like flavour and notes of currant that suit afternoon tea, scones and jam, or a gentle breakfast cup. Each 50 g bag makes about 25 cups. It is vegan and vegetarian.

Darjeeling Tea Tasting Notes

The first thing you'll notice is a sweet, fragrant aroma, like muscat grapes. It brews into a pale gold cup with copper highlights, delicate and lightly astringent, with muscatel and currant notes. The finish is clean, bright and wine-like. Darjeeling is the light, elegant side of black tea, so expect fragrance rather than the dark, malty punch of an Assam. The tippy, green-tinged leaf is normal and part of its charm.

Pairs With

Scones with jam or raspberry conserve, afternoon tea sandwiches, or a quiet moment with a good book.
