The Gorreana Tea Plantation on São Miguel Island in the Azores stands as Europe’s oldest and only tea plantation, established in 1883. This family-run estate preserves traditional cultivation and production methods, utilizing original 19th-century machinery imported from England and Portugal. Renowned for its sustainable practices, Gorreana eschews pesticides and fertilizers, producing wholly organic teas, including the popular Orange Pekoe and Broken Leaf varieties.

As a tourist destination, Gorreana offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich tea heritage of the Azores. Visitors can explore the verdant fields, witness the tea-making process firsthand, and enjoy tastings against a backdrop of stunning ocean views. This plantation not only provides a unique cultural experience but also continues to champion the environmental integrity of its lush surroundings.
