MARGARET'S HOPE TEA ESTATE, DARJEELING, INDIA.
Margaret’s Hope Tea Estate is renowned for producing some of the finest Darjeeling tea and is situated in the picturesque Kurseong Valley in northern Darjeeling. The estate spans elevations between 6,000 and 7,000 feet above sea level, encompassing approximately 361 hectares of lush landscape. Originally established in 1867 under the name Bara Ringtong, it was renamed Margarets Hope in honor of Lady Margaret, the daughter of the estate manager, Mr. Cruikshank. Lady Margaret had a deep affection for the estate and vowed to return to it from England. Tragically, she succumbed to a tropical disease during her journey back, leaving her hope unrealized. Consequently, the garden was renamed Margarets Hope in her memory. The tea garden is characterised by its stunning natural beauty, with two rivers meandering through the property and offering occasional breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayan range. The rich biodiversity of the estate, including an abundance of ferns, trees, wildflowers, and rushing streams, creates a vibrant ecosystem.
