Margaret's Hope Tea Estate

Margaret's Hope Tea Estate produces some of the world's most coveted second-flush muscatel teas, with a single kilogram of its FTGFOP1 grade fetching over $400 at auction. Yielding just 60–70 tonnes annually from its 200-hectare plot, its volume is 30% lower than the average Darjeeling estate's 80–100 tonnes, emphasizing scarcity. Its flavor depth is widely considered 30% more nuanced than Kannan Devan Hills Plantation's robust CTC blends, commanding prices that are 4 times higher per kilo than the typical Darjeeling tea.
