Margaret's Hope tea is probably the most famous of Darjeeling's gardens. The garden was established in 1865 by Mr Cruikshank beside the Balsun river. It rises to an altitude of up to 5000 ft. near to Kurseong. Tragically his daughter Margaret died on the long voyage home to England and he re-named the garden in the hope that he would be forever reminded of her. The Margaret's Hope garden takes seriously its welfare responsibilities to its staff and has improved housing, water supply and medical facilities. Infuse one teaspoon per cup of this celebrated tea with freshly boiled water for four minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\rExcellent Darjeeling \"Fragrant complex Darjeeling at a modest price.
