You might not expect to find a tea farm in Europe, but there is actually one off the coast of Portugal — in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

We traveled to São Miguel, the biggest island in the Azores, to visit Gorreana, the oldest tea manufacturer on the island, whose history and production method date back 138 years.
