The tea estate Margherita was founded in 1884 and is situated in the Indian district of Tinsukia. The total surface area of this tea garden is 2,300 acres (946 hectares), of which approximately 1,500 acres (614 hectares) are used for the cultivation of tea. The city of Margherita, which was named after a former Italian queen, also gave its name to the estate nearby. The well-shaped, fine leaf with its golden tips develops a dark cup and a strong, spicy scent in the infusion. The full-bodied and strong flavor lingers on the palate for a long time. Enjoyed by many with milk, cream or sugar.
