Tasting Notes

From our Chief Tea Taster
Submit
Aroma
Lifted note of stone-fruits, hint of nuts, cedar and dried figs
Appearance
Deep Orange
Taste
The first sip unveils a symphony of flavors: the luscious sweetness of stone-fruits, akin to ripe peach mingles with the nutty depth of toasted hazelnuts and a gentle undercurrent of cocoa. Mid-palate, a soft musky undertone emerges, adding a layer of sophistication. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of delicate woodiness and a touch of spice.

The tea has a medium body, providing a satisfying mouthfeel that is both smooth and well-rounded. The balance of flavors and the subtle complexity make it a truly enjoyable cup, perfect for savoring the essence of a Darjeeling summer.

A beautiful tea with nice aroma and flavour

It is a beautiful tea but has a different after taste than the spring Chinary one.

I've tried muscatel from various tea estates, and I find all of them to have a similarly good taste. However, it's important to be careful when steeping, as the quantity and time need to align, otherwise, it can result in a bitter flavor.

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.
