“6g / 400ml ceramic pot. 5m @ 100C This time around i used my normal water/leaf ratio for AF darjeeling. The result was a slightly more orange brew and a sharper taste. Still very light and lowkey...” Read full tasting note
One of our favourite teas of this season with a unique flowery aroma of myriad of fruits and flavours. The dry leaves include a mix of brown/black leaves with few golden tips and smells of dark chocolate. When brewed for 5 minutes, the brewed leaves give a lemon like scent that captivates all the senses.
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.
