Margaret's Hope Darjeeling TGFOP1 (M.H. Darjeeling)

Grown in the higher altitudes of the Himalayas, this tea boasts high-grade, fully aromatic qualities! A sparkling, fully aromatic tea from the beginning of the second flush period with a full amber colored cup. The bouquet is spicy with a hint of sweetness.

It has that stereotypical Darjeeling taste with a slightly sweeter ending. It has a slight mossy aroma with a mysterious hint of chewiness to the smell as well. This is good. Nice and strong, too!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this delightful Darjeeling. So good! Light peppery taste (but not hot, just a pleasing spiciness) with woody undertones and a pleasing fruit note. A very nice muscatel to this Darjeeling. I like it very much.

I really like this Darjeeling. It’s smooth and ever so slightly sweet. I’m drinking it with my breakfast (bagel & avocado) and it’s a perfect pairing. It smells a little mossy/woodsy and has a super smooth finish. I keep it at work so that I always have a strong, delicous black tea to help get me through the day.

I’ve never met a darjeeling I didn’t like, and this is no exception. It’s a little milder and less “green” tasting than what I’ve been drinking lately, but it’s nice. As usual, the muscatel flavor is strong and lingers in my mouth. No sharpness whatsoever. It’s an all-around standard and good representation of darjeeling tea.

Just finished the last of my sample from JoysTeaspoon. Gonna reuse the bag in a trade with Jeff Van Wie. (He’s going to have a lot of homework to do, haha.) Anyway, I brewed the rest in my triniTea and am drinking it out of a tall mug.

Mellow and mild as the first cup, without a trace of harshness. A delicious, sweet darjeeling with a good muscatel presence. Mmm.
