Margaret's Hope Moonlight Spring White Tea
A light, smooth Darjeeling cup bright and fragrant with delicate floral notes inlaid with fruity tones.
description
Moonlights are a special genre of rare teas made with extra care and handling of tender buds and leaves of Spring. Experts and connoisseurs deem them the finest of Darjeeling. This one’s light and smooth and welcomes you with bright and lively aromas of Asiatic lilies and hyacinths. As you sip, there are luscious hints of juicy fruits mixed with sweet fresh greens that please the palate. Geranium-like floral notes round up the cup in the end with mild traces that stay long after the sip and makes the Moonlight experience quite transcendent. Steep it a second time for a more fruity cup.

Light Gold
taste
A light-bodied, smooth cup which starts out with radiant, floral notes akin to Asiatic lilies and hyacinths and floods the palate with an aromatic suppleness. Delicious fruity undertones, similar to raw mango interlaced with a hint of greens come through towards the middle and around the edges; rendering a layer of depth and vivacious intensity to the liquor. Easing towards the end; subtle, uplifting accents, redolent of geranium come through which lingers on and makes for a sublime experience. The second steep is just as flavorful and beams with vibrant, fruity attributes.
