From RiverTea

This black tea was named in memory of Margaret, the daughter of an Englishman who owned a tea garden in India. In 1930’s he sailed from England to India with his 2 daughters to visit the garden, and Margaret, the younger daughter fell in love with the estate and hoped she could return some day. But she got ill and died on the way back to England. Her father changed the garden’s name to Margaret’s Hope to honor the place that had charmed his daughter. Margaret’s Hope is a light-hearted tea full of delicate sweetness that paints a beautiful picture of hope and a peaceful retreat. – See more at: http://www.rivertea.com/margaret-s-hope-darjeeling-autumnal-black-tea#sthash.c38zxWit.dpuf

Backlog from the recent past:

I’ve had this tea a few times since I won it as part of RiverTea’s Facebook contest. When I won, I asked them what teas I’d be getting, and they said it would be a surprise unless I requested a specific tea.

You know, I kinda wish I had asked RiverTea to send me more of their Golden Yunnan, because that stuff is so good.

This is decent, but I’m not a big Darjeeling person. However, I do like it more than the summer flushes I’ve tried – it’s mild, undemanding, and somewhat savoury. I normally brew it at 85°C since Darjeelings work best at lower temperatures than other black teas.
