The only tea plantation in Western Europe is found on the island of São Miguel in the Azores. No doubt the tea bushes feel at home at Gorreana on the humid north coast. The close-cropped tea bushes run in dense rows across the hills of the plantation. The old machines in the factory are mostly of English provenance. You can visit the factory and, before you leave, you can buy freshly fermented, green or black tea with its superb flowery flavour. You will only be able to watch all stages of tea processing from April through September, when the leaves are being picked.
