teepland drank Darjeeling Margaret's Hope 2nd Flush by Capital Teas

105 tasting notes

Okay—the more I drink this, the more I like it. Even as I have been trying single-estate second flushes from other estates, this tea is the one I keep coming back to when I am in the mood for a second flush Darjeeling. It helps that I have been experimenting with the quantity of tea leaf used per water volume and I am at the amount which matches my taste.

While my original rating wasn’t low, I am still raising the number since this truly has become one of my favorites.

Flavors: Astringent, Muscatel, Wet Rocks, Wood

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 4 min, 0 sec 6 g 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Husband and father. Librarian. Soccer fan.

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in Sri Lanka and India. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I apologize if my reviews differ from the experiences you’ve had with any of the teas I have logged.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)
