Mercearia das Flores

The Mercearia das Flores opened in 2012, in the Rua das Flores, in the heart of Porto. During this time, the street was being redeveloped into a pedestrian area and is now one of the liveliest streets of Porto. The shop owners, Joan Osswald and Joana Oliveira, collectively known as Joanas, decided that their shop would be a traditional grocery shop, selling only Portuguese products, preferably organic and preferably from small producers. The shop has a very good selection of preserves, cheeses, convent sweets, olive oils and wines, many of which are not found elsewhere. In the shop there is a simple cafe, where some of the products on sale in the shop are available to customers. The Joanas have a fascination for tea and they have decided to sell the Camélia blends in the shop. In addition to the teas with a Portuguese touch, they also sell the white Camélia bowls, which are produced in Portugal by a ceramic company in Aveiro.
