A rare first flush tea from one of Darjeeling's most celebrated estates
One of Darjeeling's most celebrated teas, eagerly awaited each spring.
Established in 1865 high in the Himalayan foothills, Margaret's Hope is renowned for producing some of Darjeeling's most sought-after teas. Its mature tea bushes spend the winter months at rest before yielding the season's first tender leaves, harvested during the brief and highly prized first flush.
The result is a tea of remarkable elegance and freshness.
Delicate muscatel notes mingle with floral aromas and a bright, lively character that captures the very beginning of the growing season.
Highly anticipated and available for only a short time each year, First Flush Margaret's Hope remains one of the most exclusive teas in the Whittard calendar.
Best enjoyed without milk to appreciate its subtle complexity and refined character.
A rare seasonal tea from one of Darjeeling's most revered estates.
