The Tea Ritual
From the volcanic plantations of the Azores to aromatic herbal infusions, every cup invites a moment of tranquillity.
Tea has been part of Azorean history since the 19th century. Today, the Gorreana plantations continue to produce one of Europe’s few teas, traditionally grown on the green hillsides of São Miguel — pesticide-free, organic, pure and natural.
Served in an individual teapot or to share.
