About Companhia Portugueza do Chá

Companhia Portugueza do Chá is a Lisbon tea house on Rua do Poço dos Negros, founded by tea sommelier Sebastian Filgueiros. Its blends tell the story of Portugal and tea: Portuguese ships brought tea from the East, and Catherine of Braganza made it fashionable at the English court after marrying Charles II in 1662. Her profile is on the company's logo.
