Characteristics

In the 1980s, the São Miguel Agrarian Development Service (Azores/Portugal) planted 0.4 hectares with Camellia sinensis, more specifically the varietal ‘Assamica’. This variety is most commonly used for the production of black tea. In this small experimental plantation no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used. Clara Estrela Rego started producing white tea, dried naturally. The whole leaves reveal the unique terroir of the Azores – the oldest tea-producing area in Europe.
