  * The Margaret's Hope Darjeeling Tea blend from English Tea Store is a second flush tea that is a delicate tending astringent cup with the distinctive "Muscatel" character. The hints of currant create an almost wine-like taste.

During the 1930's, the garden was owned by Mr. Bagdon who lived in London but visited the tea garden regularly. He had two daughters. The younger daughter named Margaret, who when she saw the tea garden fell in love with it, hoped one day she would have an opportunity to return. Sadly she fell ill on the ship during the return trip to England and died soon after. In her memory, her father changed the garden's name to Margaret's Hope. It is believed that she visits the estate bungalow from the western side, coming through the main guestroom and leaving from the study through the verandah to the tennis courts.

The bushes at Margaret's Hope are almost entirely the Chinese Jat (genus) accounting for the green leafed tippy appearance of the manufactured leaf and the superb fragrance. Because the tea is grown at such high altitudes and in relatively cool weather the bushes do not grow quickly, and as such the production is limited. The best time of the year for quality is during "second-flush" (end May - end June). During this time, Darjeelings are incomparable to any other tea in the world. The fragrance and taste is a complex bouquet that reaches right out of the cup. Some would describe the taste as nutty; others find it reminds them of black currants, but most often it is described as similar to the taste and fragrance of muscat grapes.

**The are 3 main times of year for producing good quality Darjeelings: **

**1st flush -** Springtime harvested teas from late Feb. to mid April. The young leaves yield a light tea with generally intense muscatel with "point". A gentle afternoon tea.

**2nd flush -** Harvested in June, these teas are more fully developed. The liquor is bright and the taste full and round excellent muscatel. An superb afternoon tea that is especially good with scones and raspberry conserve.

**Autumnal -** Not always available depending upon the weather, they are typified by a round taste and coppery liquor. Excellent as a breakfast tea.

**Caffeine content:** Medium - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.

**Antioxidant Content:** Very High - The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.

英国茶叶店的玛格丽特希望大吉岭混合茶是第二冲茶，是一款精致的收敛杯，具有独特的“麝香”特征。醋栗的味道营造出一种几乎像葡萄酒一样的味道。

在 1930 年代，该花园归住在伦敦但定期参观茶园的巴格登先生所有。他有两个女儿。小女儿名叫玛格丽特，当她看到茶园时，她爱上了它，希望有一天她能有机会回来。可悲的是，她在返回英国的途中在船上生病，不久后去世。为了纪念她，她的父亲将花园的名字改为玛格丽特希望。据信，她从西侧参观庄园平房，穿过主客房，从书房穿过阳台到达网球场。

玛格丽特希望的灌木丛几乎完全是中国的 Jat（属），这导致了人造叶子的绿叶尖锐外观和极好的香味。由于茶叶生长在如此高的海拔和相对凉爽的天气下，灌木丛生长不快，因此产量有限。一年中质量的最佳时间是“二次同花顺”期间（5 月底 - 6 月底）。在这段时间里，大吉岭是世界上任何其他茶都无法比拟的。香味和味道是一束复杂的花香，从杯子里直接延伸出来。有些人会形容这种味道是坚果味;其他人则发现它让他们想起了黑醋栗，但大多数情况下，它被描述为类似于麝香葡萄的味道和香味。

**一年中生产优质大吉岭的 3 个主要时间：**

**第一次冲水 -** 春季从 2 月下旬到 4 月中旬收获茶叶。嫩叶产生淡淡的茶，带有通常浓郁的麝香葡萄味，带有“尖头”的味道。温和的下午茶。

**第二次冲洗 -** 这些茶在六月收获，发育得更充分。酒色鲜亮，口感饱满圆润，极佳麝香。一款极好的下午茶，特别适合搭配烤饼和覆盆子蜜饯。

**秋季 -** 根据天气情况，它们并不总是可用，它们的特点是圆润的味道和铜色的酒。非常适合作为早餐茶。

如何泡茶

**有 4 种尺寸可供选择（请从上述选项中选择）：**

  * **第一次尝试英式茶店的玛格丽特希望大吉岭散叶茶？**

**试试我们的 1 盎司样品量。**
  * 内容物散叶茶净重 4 盎司
  * 内容物散叶茶净重 16 盎司（1 磅）
  * 内容：散叶茶净重 80 盎司（5 磅）

  


**咖啡因含量：** 中等 - 这种茶含有山茶花科的天然咖啡因。一杯红茶在开水中浸泡 5 分钟，将含有 27 至 35 毫克咖啡因。一杯大小相等的咖啡将含有 80 - 100 毫克咖啡因。咖啡因很快就会溶于非常热的水中。如果您想降低这种茶中的咖啡因含量，用极热的水短暂冲洗茶叶会将咖啡因含量降低 25-50%，对味道的影响很小。

**抗氧化剂含量：** 非常高 - 泡茶的时间越长，提取的多酚就越多。（测试结果基于 5 分钟的浸泡时间。多酚含量可能随茶叶的批次、等级、检测方法、水温和茶叶的新鲜度而波动。茶 （L. Camellia Sinesis） 冲泡的时间越长，从茶中提取的抗氧化剂就越多。而且茶叶使用的越多，抗氧化作用就越大。
