DARJEELING MARGARET'S HOPE TEA

100g in Metal Tin

Description

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 overexciting.
