It is the only tea plantation in Europe, you have to see it. Good explanations on site. How, why and wherefore. Afterwards you can try the tea directly and then hike through the plantations.

August 12, 2025,Azoren, Sao Miguel, Rundwanderung Teeplantage Cha Gorreana

A beautiful hike with an unexpected climb through tea plantations and beautiful views of the sea.
The descent begins with a path through tropical forest before continuing through the tea plants again.

First it's 2km uphill, quite exhausting in summer with high humidity. But the descent through the tea fields and the subsequent tasting make up for it! 🌞

A short hike through the tea plantations. The tour starts directly at the factory, which can be visited afterwards. Guided tours and tea tastings are available free of charge in English. The parking lot is large and easy to find.

One of three European tea plantations. A nice circular walk through the plantation, you can see the factory and production facilities, equipment from 1920. Compared to the other scenic highlights on the island, it's OK, but somehow not a must. On the other hand, when can you ever walk through a tea plantation?

July 13, 2024,2024/07/13 Azoren 🇵🇹 (São Miguel): Fábrica e plantação de chá Gorreana - Teeplantage

Our day began with great anticipation. We had planned to explore the famous tea plantations of the Fábrica e Plantação de Chá Gorreana on São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores. The Gorreana plantation is not only the oldest but also the last remaining tea plantation in Europe, having been family-owned since 1883. Tea has been grown and processed …

It was a great hike, first through the plantation, then through a forest with many sequoias, ferns, and even some tree ferns.
The factory was also very interesting, first we went through alone, at the end with a guided tour - free.
Finally, we tasted tea and tea cookies.

September 1, 2022,03. San Miguel - Escursione - Tour Chà Gorreana

Simple loop around the crop.
Better to follow it in the opposite direction to what is shown on the sign at the beginning, that is, passing first by the tea plants and then descending along a wide carriageway. No special footwear is required.
Upon arrival, try the various infusions directly in the factory

April 10, 2024,🇵🇹 Azoren, Sao Miguel: Teeplantage

Today we visited one of the island's tourist hotspots, the tea plantation. Today it was again quite busy, at least in stages (when a bus arrived - presumably from a special cruise ship, see one of the next tours). It is often said (including here) that this is the only tea plantation in Europe. That hasn't been true for a …
