Margaret's Hope Second Flush MUSCAT

Second flush Darjeeling is harvested in the summer and before the monsoon season.   The special bouquet of muscat grapes is due to the jassids or leafhoppers.  The insect bites cause damage to tea leaves and change their flavor profile.

  
'Muscatel' is illusive and not every Darjeeling tea is muscatel.
