The Tea Story

Vintage teas from Margaret’s Hope are shaped by careful selection, seasonal precision and the estate’s distinctive terroir. Located in Kurseong, the garden benefits from cool, mist-laden winds, high-elevation sections and rich biodiversity, all of which contribute to the tea’s bright aroma and clean finish. During the summer flush, select clonal bushes yield leaves with enhanced depth and complexity, often revealing floral-fruity nuances alongside gentle muscatel hints. Handpicked and delicately processed in small batches, these vintage lots capture the finest moment of the estate’s season, offering a tea that reflects both heritage and exceptional seasonal character from the hills of Darjeeling.
