Steenbergs Tippy Darjeeling Margaret’s Hope

Steenbergs Second Flush Darjeeling loose leaf tea comes from the Margaret’s Hope Tea Estate. Margaret’s Hope is one of the most famous tea gardens and its best quality comes from the second-flush. This has a rich muscatel flavour with a mild fruitiness.

Tea brewing: into a warmed teapot, put 1 teaspoon of Margaret’s Hope Darjeeling Tea per cup. Bring fresh water to the boil and then pour over the Margaret’s Hope Darjeeling Tea (95C) and brew for 3 – 4 minutes.

Tasting notes: Margaret’s Hope brews a shiny coppery liquor and tastes rich with a floral bouquet (like orange and rose flowers to me), with ripe fruit (blackberries) and dry wood notes.
