Gorreana Tea

Açores

Chá da Gorreana, grown on the island of São Miguel in the Azores, is the only tea plantation in Europe, a true gem of Portuguese agriculture. Founded in 1883, Gorreana preserves the tradition of handcrafted production, using methods that respect both the environment and the quality of the product.

The plantation plays a key role in the local economy, offering not only high-quality tea but also creating jobs and promoting tourism on the island. The story of Chá da Gorreana is a deep connection between the land and Azorean culture, a pride for São Miguel and a legacy passed down through generations.
