Azores vacation teas!
I got to tour the Cha Gorreana plant on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores and got to sample several of their teas.
It is different. The islands are volcanic in creation, so the tea plants are growing in MUCH different soil than what we would find in Asia, or anywhere else, really.
And you can tell in the tea. This is a basic, middle of the road black tea, but its flavor is different. It’s somehow tropical, if that makes sense. Not super tasty, but the taste that is there is exotic and intriguing.
The sample I had was in their tasting room, and we just in a large container of tea. I’m sure if brewed correctly for an individual taste, it would be even better!
Very nice tea from Azores. When I discovered there is a tea plantation in this beautiful archipielago, I just had to place an order. 4 eur shipping included to Europe (sorry, no information to other countries) is very cheap. They only sell 100gr bags.
This is a very correct orange pekoe black tea. Of course not the best in the world, but the rare growing area is a plus. I can recommend you to try it.

I made a full pot of this tea for my breakfast. This is November here…in July, terrible. Rain, fog…
Thank you cteresa for sharing this tea with mea.It took me ages before trying it because I am not especially a big fan of Orange Pekoe but I was wrong. This one is really pleasant, smooth, medium bodied with lovely touches of stone fruit.
The leaves are quite long without being full and this is a good point. Most the Orange Pekoe I had were broken leaves and probably it counts on my OP’s meh experience.
A tea I would drink with a lot of pleasure.
From the queue. There will be a posting break of a few days now. We are having family over, and as my room becomes their bedroom I will lose access to my computer for the duration.
Another one from the EU TTB, round 2. This is one that I’ve filched.
The aroma is strange. Not strange-strange, but strange in that it is so anonymous. I’m not really picking anything up other than ‘tea’. Perhaps a smidge of sweetness, vaguely caramel-y in nature, but that’s about it. It’s a fairly generic tea aroma.
Taste-wise it’s the same story. It’s fairly mild, and I’m not getting much out of it other than a generic tea flavour. Again perhaps with a twinge of vaguely caramel-y sweetness, but not so much as to be in any way defining. As it cools a bit, the caramel-y note becomes a little more forward, but still not in any sort of big way.
It’s a pleasant and inoffensive tea, but it’s not really a revalation in a cup.
