Darjeeling Margaret's Hope TGFOP 2nd flush
Country of Origin: India
Region: Darjeeling
Grade: TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flavoury Orange Pekoe)
Altitude: 6800 feet above sea level
Manufacture Type: Orthodox
Cup Characteristics: A delicate tending astringent cup with the distinctive Muscatel character. Hints of currant create an almost wine-like taste.
Infusion: Bright tending light
Ingredients: Luxury black tea.
Information:
The bushes at Margaret's Hope are almost entirely the Chinese Jat (genus) accounting for the green leafed tippy appearance of the manufactured leaf and the superb fragrance. Because the tea is grown at such high altitudes and in relatively cool weather the bushes do not grow quickly, and as such the production is limited. The best time of the year for quality is during second-flush (end May - end June). During this time Darjeelings are incomparable to any other tea in the world. The fragrance and taste is a complex bouquet that reaches right out of the cup. Some would describe the taste as nutty; others find it reminds them of black currants, but most often it is described as similar to the taste and fragrance of muscat grapes.
