Gorreana Green Tea with Pineapple and Ceylon Cinnamon

Gorreana Green Tea with Pineapple and Ceylon Cinnamon is a Portuguese green tea with pineapple and Ceylon cinnamon from São Miguel, in the Azores, made by Gorreana, the oldest tea plantation in Europe still in production. A cosy, fruity cup for the afternoon, with a gentle spice that feels like dessert.

Tasting notes

Gorreana green tea is typically gentle and fresh, with grassy, lightly sweet notes and very little bitterness. Pineapple brings a juicy, tropical sweetness, and Ceylon cinnamon, the most delicate of the cinnamons, adds a soft, warm spice.

Food pairing

Lovely with arroz doce, a pastel de nata dusted with cinnamon or a slice of apple cake.

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.

Good to know

• Brew with water at about 80 °C for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Tea bags. Keep the box closed, in a dry place, away from light and strong smells.
• A lovely little gift from the Azores.
