The Story
2026 First Flush: Spring's First Light in a Cup
We are excited to bring you this year’s first spring Darjeeling leaves from Margaret’s Hope Tea Estate, arguably one of the most famous and romantic tea estates in Darjeeling. Located at 3,100-6,000 feet in West Bengal, India, nestled in the Himalayas, this tea garden’s mist covered slopes offer a unique climate and terrain which shape the tea’s distinctive character and flavor profile.
Unfurling into existence among the orchid covered slopes and flowing rivers of Margaret's Hope Tea Estate, this first flush reveals a light amber-golden cup, brimming with soft floral notes and a whisper of almond. Hints of tropical fruit perfect the lively, yet elegant, crisp finish. Plucking date: March 26, 2026.
We have air-freighted this hand-plucked Darjeeling to ensure the freshest cup possible. Regarded as the ultimate tea experience, only limited quantities are available. Enjoy, Sip by Sip®.
