Margaret's Hope is a fruity Darjeeling with a great character. Special feature: it is invigorating and dark because of the greater proportion of Assam tea plants (20%) than Chinese plants on the plantation, something that is not very common in Darjeeling.
Dark, fruity, and full of character, it stimulates without overexciting.
Aromas: a floral, very fruity attack (apple, grape), citrus, woody and a few honey, liquorice notes, combined with a freshness from the planty notes (fresh leaves)
Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: very well balanced notes which make this lovely and long in the mouth, thanks to the astringent qualities
Suggestion of preparation
With the tasting set: 4' minutes in water heated to 95°C.
To prepare iced tea:
Steep 10g in 1L of water at room temperature 30min. Remove the tea leaves and refrigerate.

Dear customer, thank you for this review. We are sorry that our Darjeeling Margaret's Hope does not bring you complete satisfaction. We recommend that you modify the preparation criteria (infusion duration and water temperature) slightly in order to obtain a liqueur that suits you best. Best regards, Alex.

This year the flavour is somewhat different than before, with a strong grassy note I didn't remember. It's a lot more expensive than 2 years ago.
