Margaret's Hope Second Flush Darjeeling – Muscatel Summer DarjeelingMargaret's Hope is one of the five most famous tea gardens in India — a name every connoisseur of top-quality tea knows well. Nestled in the misty Kurseong valley at elevations reaching up to 1, 830 meters, the garden's cool climate and slow leaf growth produce teas of remarkable complexity and fragrance. Our Margaret's Hope Second Flush Darjeeling is a 2025 summer harvest graded FTGFOP1, crafted from finely plucked, tippy leaves that represent the very best of the season. Light, bright and incredibly refreshing, it's delicate yet full of the prized muscatel grape character Darjeeling is famous for, with a clean, floral and crisp finish. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItElegant and expressive, this second flush from Margaret's Hope captures the soul of Darjeeling in full summer bloom. It's fuller and fruitier than a first flush, with a warm, nutty depth that makes it wonderfully satisfying — a refined, aromatic tea for those who appreciate heritage in every sip.
How to EnjoySavor it plain to appreciate its layered fruit and floral notes, or with a small splash of milk if you prefer. It's perfect for afternoon tea and pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, scones, almond cake and mild cheeses. Refined, aromatic and steeped in history, Margaret's Hope Second Flush is a Darjeeling to treasure. |

A little steeping tipUse freshly boiled water and keep an eye on the clock: steeping past the suggested time brings out a drier, more astringent cup.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
