Full Description
This tea has been harvested and produced in late March when the temperatures are rising in this beautiful tea area and the leaves are beginning to shoot.

Margaret’s Hope has tea bushes growing at an altitude up to 6,000 feet above sea level.

More about this Tea
INDIA
The Margaret's Hope plantation is nestled in an exclusive corner of the Himalayan mountains, deep in the region of Darjeeling. Elevated up to 1830m above sea level, the cool mountain air encourages slow growth of the tea bushes which encourages the leaves to develop a more intense flavour. Many of these ancient tea bushes are over 150 years old and have been carefully cultivated to create this exquisitely crisp tea.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
