Gorreana Green Tea with Peppermint

Gorreana Green Tea with Peppermint is a Portuguese green tea with peppermint from São Miguel, in the Azores, made by Gorreana, the oldest tea plantation in Europe still in production. A fresh, clean cup, perfect after lunch or as a light pick-me-up in the afternoon.

Tasting notes

Gorreana green tea is typically gentle and fresh, with grassy, lightly sweet notes and very little bitterness. Peppermint, hortelã-pimenta in Portuguese, adds a cool, bright freshness and a long, clean finish.

Food pairing

Lovely after a meal of grilled sardines or a rich stew, and with dark chocolate or almond biscuits.

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.
