- Description
- The Chá Gorreana tea plantation is a traditional family business. It is located on the north coast of the Azores island of São Miguel, the Ilha Verde, in the midst of lush green vegetation. The special microclimate of this region of the island – constant high humidity with frost-free temperatures all year round, plus at least one “shower” daily – is ideal for the tea plant, a Chinese camellia species (“Camellia sinensis”).
