Description

Chá Gorreana Tea Plantation is a traditional family business with over 135 years of success.  It is located on the northern coast of the island of São Miguel in the Azores, amidst lush greenery.  The special microclimate of this region of the island – constant high humidity with year-round frost-free temperatures, plus at least one “shower” every day – is ideal for the tea plant, a species of Chinese camellia (“Camellia sinensis”) .

All Gorreana teas are completely organic as they are pesticide free.  It’s a whole new quality that makes us fall more and more in love with this European unique tea with every sip.

Ordinary plant pests are not found here – in the middle of the Atlantic.  This geographical remoteness has made it possible to grow tea that requires no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.  Annoying weeds are eaten by goats who – thankfully – don’t like tea leaves…

Nor is there any special protection from the salty Atlantic winds, as the tea plant has adapted genetically over time here – the plantation has always replanted its own seedlings rather than new varieties.
