- Camper209513397745 contributionsvery nice to visit the plantation and taste their delicious tea and cookiesvery nice to visit the plantation and taste their delicious tea, which is free. The plantation is beautiful to see and take photos, and their tea is delicious. In the shop they sell all kinds of things and we purchased the tea for home. The cookies in the restaurant are delicious and you should try them while enjoying their beautiful view. You can also take walking routes here, but we didn't do that, it was too hot that day. Nice to go these are the only tea plantations in Europe!Visited November 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 23, 2023
- OnAir619395658904 contributionsWonderful experience - would definitely recommendMy husband and I drove to the Gorreana Tea Plantation on December 8. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we walked in. Much to our surprise, they immediately offered a guided tour. We had our own guide, Rafaella (I think). She was informative, entertaining, her English was great and we learned a lot about tea. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and sampled three types of tea (free). Left with three different types from the gift store, which I believe were less expensive than anywhere else to purchase. They were all friendly and we're so glad we went.Visited December 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten December 8, 2023
- rdubbs08Edmond, Oklahoma7,981 contributionsBeautiful Setting ... and FREE!The setting here is beautiful and the cost free! We did not spend a lot of time looking at the actual displays they had, but we let the kids run in the fields and enjoyed some tea and cookies. I would not slate a ton of time for your visit, but I would suggest stopping by! There appeared to be some hiking trails adjacent to the property as well, so perhaps do a hike while in the area!Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 6, 2024
- BGreen416Toronto, Canada64 contributionsBeautiful Views, Great Tea, A little CommericalThis is one of two tea plantations that are about 5 minutes apart in the northeast side of the island. They both sell tea and have great views, but are very different. This one seemed a little more "tourist" oriented and was very busy with lots of parking. The views are simply wonderful and the tea is excellent. This location has a restaurant where the other one does not.Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 11, 2024
- TubaKoseogluOkcuIstanbul, Türkiye6,821 contributionsBetter to Visit in The MorningThis is a tea plantation facility with tea fields and a small museum kind of a place where the way tea is produced is explained combined with a tea shop and a small coffee house. For us, the best part was the tea plantation, the views were amazing, the nature was breathtaking. But for tea enthousiasts, the shop seems to be very appealing too. There is a free parking lot but in the afternoons where there are more visitors, parking can become problematic, there are fewer people in the morning.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 8, 2024
- Ann CNashville, Tennessee3,382 contributionsPlantações de Chá GorreanaIt is a 5 if you are the very first to arrive, as we were...after that it turns into a very crowded, opposite experience. I personally would not go here if the parking lot was full. We walked around and explored the machinery and the shop and then sat on the balcony and enjoyed tea with a lovely piece of apple cake. It was peaceful and tranquil. We then went on a hike. By the time we completed our hike and came back we could not even use the bathroom as the tour bus that arrived made for a ridiculously long line. To say it was crowded inside would be an understatement. Hard to rate. It was a 5 for us (very first entry) but by the time we left I would rate it a 2, my point is, go, but go early!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 15, 2024
- LouPOrford, Canada219 contributionsDefinitely worth a taste and a free guided tour !Definitely worth a visit! They serve many teas in free tasting (one green tea, one black tea and one mixed with herbs). You can also try any other tea for only 1 euro. The view from the balcony is beautiful, and the walk in the plantation is easy and beautiful. We took a free guided tour and it was very interesting to learn about all the steps of the process to make tea. The shop offers a great variety of local products (and teas, obviously). We definitely recommand going there.Visited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 15, 2024
- Luckyduck2012519 contributionsBeautiful AreaJust a really beautiful area and it's free to walk around the tea bushes. Inside the main building you can purchase teas and other items. You can also see the tea being separated and dried as well has have free cups of tea.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 19, 2024
- MS 413São Miguel, Portugal497 contributionsNice to see - very busy on high seasonTo visit during high season is difficult, many, many people. Go early. There is a self-guided tour with a free tea to taste their product at the end. The tea fields are very pretty. We have also hiked the trails here, well worth the effort as you are rewarded on the longer trail with vistas and views well worth the effort. A tip? Go backwards, and the hard part is downhill. The second smaller hike will show you a waterfall and old mill.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 29, 2024
- Keren VLondon, United Kingdom132 contributionsBeautiful groundsBeautiful grounds. Can’t believe it is free to walk around them. It’s a really big plantation, we could see other people going for hikes up the hills. You could spend all day here exploring. We didn’t eat in the cafe, but it looked really nice and the views from the balcony were stunning. Photos don’t do justice. Great range of teas available to purchase from the gift shop. Definitely worth a visit.Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 2, 2024

We expected a tour through the "factory" and the story of how the tea is made, but we got nothing. There is a "restaurant" where you can get a coup of green and black tea from the can and giving a donation, some videos are running on the screen and that´s it. Nothing more.

Well worth a visit if you are anywhere close by. You can opt to meander around the processing factory on your own or get a free guide to explain the process to you. The young guides are really friendly and knowledgeable about the process and the historical equipment and well deserving of the voluntary tip at the end of the tour. There is even free tasting of the black and green teas at the end of the tour and also of course a shop selling the plantation wares.
There is also a cafe with a balcony dining area overlooking the lower plantation serving snacks and of course, tea.
We only walked around the lower plantation which was being harvested whilst we were there and interesting to see and speak to the harvesters, however there is also a much larger tiered plantation across the road that is also free to visit, should you fancy a 45 minute walk about.
We enjoyed it, and there were plenty of visitors, including many children who seemed to be having a ball

We loved this place and actually squeezed in a second visit on our last day just to get more of their wonderful cookies! The first time we joined a quick tour of the factory (free but good to tip) - the guide was so knowledgeable and nice. Then we went to the cafe where they have free samples of various teas (the Christmas blend was our favorite) and got some incredible tea infused cookies and other sweets. The view is beautiful, especially at sunset! Great to sit on the porch and enjoy your treats while looking out over the fields. Really peaceful in the morning, seemed to be busier later in the day. Would highly recommend.

The tea plantation has survived being in business well over a century. The teas are of good quality, fields are rotated every year and no fertilizer is used in the crops. Long they have been organic before it was in style. They offer a guided and self-managed tours of the facility and free samples. The highlight of our visits (we went twice as we enjoyed it so much) was the bake shop where they make pastries every day which you can enjoy with a drink of free tea by the plantation-side in an open air facility. Highly recommend you spend time here. Note it gets busy if/when the bus tours arrive, so be prepared. Please indicate if you found this helpful as it will help me focus my review efforts in the future, thanks!

The Azores are the only place in Europe where there are favorable weather conditions for growing tea.
This plantation has been established here since 1883, when tea was still imported by ships from the Far East. An ancient, surreal, wonderful place. It's a shame that when we arrived it was pouring so we were only inside to taste the various tea and shopping. in good weather the pantagions can be visited

I hate to write bad reviews but this time I just can't stop myself.
The place is very nice, the tea is good, but the staff is just unacceptable.
We spent some time at the front desk where there is a sign that invites guest to wait there for a guided tour. Then a lady told us that next tour was scheduled for 16:15. We were there at 15:45 so decided to wait. At 16:25 no-one was there so we started asking around. NO ONE helped us and the other guests waiting. Then we found the same lady that had started a private tour with two guests.
When we asked her what was going on she just told us that they had previously paid for a tour and the next free one would be around 17:00.
I was happy to pay to join a guided tour but we had no information at all and we waste more than 1 hour waiting for her, doing nothing. This is definetly not what I call a good customer service.

We came here after another plantation, Porto Formoso Tea Factory. There were already a lot of people and cars here - they barely found a parking space. You can walk around the vast plantations here for a long time, also get acquainted with the production, and drink tea (for free). The cafe has a large assortment of drinks and food, and the store has many types of tea and souvenirs. But I liked the first small factory much more. There the views are more beautiful, there are fewer people and it is nicer. I recommend visiting it, but you can skip this one or stop by to buy tea (there is more choice here).

We have not seen a mechanised tea plantation before. Pretty setting for tea bushes looking out to the ocean. The tea is light and easily drinkable. There is a cafe on site selling one of the best ice creams and pastries.
