Gorreana Green Tea with Hibiscus

Gorreana Green Tea with Hibiscus is a Portuguese green tea with hibiscus from São Miguel, in the Azores, made by Gorreana, the oldest tea plantation in Europe still in production. A beautiful ruby cup with a gentle tang, lovely hot and wonderful over ice.

Tasting notes

Gorreana green tea is typically gentle and fresh, with grassy, lightly sweet notes and very little bitterness. Hibiscus adds a deep red colour and a lively, slightly tart flavour of red berries and cranberry.

Food pairing

Serve it with fruit tarts, a slice of chocolate cake or a fresh fruit salad. Iced, it is great with a summer lunch.

About Gorreana

Gorreana is a tea estate on the north coast of São Miguel, in the Azores. Founded in 1883, it is the oldest tea plantation in Europe still in production. About 32 hectares of tea grow there on volcanic soil, without herbicides, pesticides or fungicides, and the estate handles every step from leaf to packet. The plantation and its factory are open to visitors, one of the loveliest stops on the island.
