Margaret's Hope is a fruity Darjeeling with a great character. Special feature: it is invigorating and dark because of the greater proportion of Assam tea plants (20%) than Chinese plants on the plantation, something that is not very common in Darjeeling.
Dark, fruity, and full of character, it stimulates without overstimulating.
Fragrances: woody (both dry and "heavy" wood), fruity (grape note), floral and vegetal accents (close to the notes of aromatic herbs)
Liquor
Color: coppery, orange
Flavor: slightly sweet
Aromas: a floral, very fruity attack (apple, grape), citrus, woody and a few honey, liquorice notes, combined with a freshness from the planty notes (fresh leaves)
Aromatic profile and length in the mouth: very well balanced notes which make this lovely and long in the mouth, thanks to the astringent qualities

Margaret's Hope has been my 'go-to' tea at any time and a pantry staple for years. However, this year's batch is quite disappointing. Strong moldy smell, so I had to throw the whole bag and hesitate to order other teas from PdT. What happened to this year's harvest?

My aunt said this was her absolute favorite from the large sampler I gave her for Christmas, so I'm surprising her with some

The Darjeeling was a lovely tea and we especially like it with our Indian dinners.

Margaret's Hope Darjeeling is very difficult to find in the US. This is quality tea.

This is my first time ordering the Darjeeling tea, so my impression is somewhat uninformed.
