Discover a rare black tea, grown in the heart of the Atlantic at Europe’s only tea plantation: Gorreana, set high on the green hills of São Miguel Island, in the Azores.

Known for its preserved cultivation between ocean mists and exotic flora, this tea develops a singular flavor—impossible to reproduce elsewhere. Each leaf concentrates the purity of a truly unique terroir.

Rich in caffeine, intense yet never bitter, it delivers a round, aromatic, perfectly balanced cup. A sensory experience that turns breakfast into a real moment of pleasure.

Why I love it

  • A unique taste, born from a terroir found nowhere else
  • A caffeine-rich tea, bold on the palate, with no bitterness
  • An exceptional discovery from island Portugal

More informations?

The Gorreana tea plantation is located on the northern slope of São Miguel Island, the largest island in the Azores, right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Along with its neighbor Porto Formoso, it is the only tea plantation in Europe.

Tea has existed wild in the Azores since the 18th century, but cultivation only began in 1874. The Gorreana plantation that produces this green tea is therefore over 100 years old, yet it produces only 40 tons of tea per year—compared to an average of 2,500 tons per plantation in Asia.

Very weak rea, not suitable, as advertised, as a breakfast tea for british tastes. Does not take milk well and is better with lemon. Taste acceptable if unmemorable. This product not worthy of the hype.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that this tea did not meet your expectations. Tea preferences can be very personal, especially when it comes to breakfast teas. The black tea produced in the Azores is quite different from traditional British breakfast blends such as Assam or English Breakfast. It is generally lighter, smoother and less tannic, which explains why it may not pair with milk in the way many British tea drinkers expect.

Many customers actually enjoy it plain or with a slice of lemon, as you mentioned, which allows its more delicate character to be appreciated.

That said, we fully understand that if you were expecting a strong, full-bodied breakfast tea, the experience may have been disappointing. Your comments are valuable and will help other customers better understand the distinctive style of this unique tea grown in Europe’s only commercial tea plantations, located in the Gorreana Tea Plantation.
