Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted notes of stone-fruits, shelled nuts along with soft oaky undertones.
Appearance
Light Amber
Taste
Nestled in the breathtaking expanse of the Darjeeling Himalayan hills, the ethereal Margaret’s Hope estate, spanning elevations of 3500 to 6000 feet, has cultivated teas for over a century and a half, steeping its leaves in history. With the first sip, a symphony of flavors emerges, combining the succulence of stone fruits with gentle oaky undertones.

As your journey continues, a tapestry of sensations unfolds—notes of shelled nuts intertwined with a musky embrace add depth. Towards the finish, a crescendo of tart-fruity essences graces the palate, akin to freshly picked red berries, bringing the cup to a sublime closure, etching a lingering memory.

I have not opened it yet as I am still going thru my sampler packs which I have bought 2 of. I just really wish that these came with the Lil dolls that are included in the sampler sets.

Excellent Tea

One of my top 2 favorites from the black tea sampler box. (other was Castleton Summer Muscatel)
Margaret's Hope is really good tea, balanced between subtle fruit and light woody nuts (in a good way!) Yummy.
