The Tea Factory
The island of São Miguel has the only two tea plantations in Europe for industrial purposes. Porto Formoso Tea Factory is one of those factories that not only produces tea, but also preserves the memories of tea production in the Azores islands from the very beginning to the last quarter of the 19th century. The venue has a beautiful room that depicts a typical kitchen of S. Miguel and a terrace, offering a magnificent view over the tea plantations, Porto Formoso town and the Atlantic Ocean. Every spring, tea picking ritual is recreated with the typical old-fashioned outfits.
