  • 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. The Azores islands have been synonymous with tea for over two centuries. The tropical climate and volcanic soil of these islands make for perfect growing conditions, giving this tea a sweet, perfectly balanced mineral flavor. 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.

    As a devout Tea drinker I was so envious watching you talk about Orange Pekoe. I only drank that tea for many years until it became unavailable here in South Africa. If it is sold here it is so expensive that it is unaffordable to the majority of heavy tea drinkers here.
    Thanks for a great video.

    • @prcr
      @prcr 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @@OurLordandSaviorSigmar I'd say the black tea is considerably lighter and with floral notes, when compared to more full-bodied black teas from India and Sri Lanka for instance. The green tea can be quite "vegetable tasting" and with some bite since the leaves are steamed to stop the oxidation process like typical Japanese green teas.

    • @DurgaswaroopPerla

      If it is literally broken tea leaves, then it is usually considered a bad tea. Full leaves are always preferred for good teas. That's why Chinese teas are one of the most respected teas in the world. Most farms don't let their leaves break.

    Tea leaf plucking, it is not cutting everything on the top. this shows their workmanship and quality, adding tea buds stem will degrade the flavour.
    but water energy & power management is great.

    • @SneakingMilk
      @SneakingMilk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Leaf plucking is actually a very deep and complex subject. Buds actually in feature in many very high quality teas, for example white teas like silver needle. The inclusion of stems in the picking can also boost the aroma compounds in the tea and is particularly noticeable in Taiwanese oolongs.

That's thanks to being available in all the stores in the Próvida (Celeiro, etc) natural products chain of stores, and being distributed in the large area supermarket chains like Auchan. At least from 2009 you can easily find Gorreana in Pingo Doce, from 2012 on in Lidl. Not to mention well known herbalist stores scattered in all mainland cities and tourist souvenir establishments all over Portugal Continental.
      To get my Gorreana it's just a 5 min drive away to Auchan or Pingo Doce.

    Maybe you can go into why the caffeine is different in each tea next time. I didn’t know all tea was made from the same plant…how can the caffeine levels be different? Just because of the oxidation process??

    • @TheXcrazymanxX
      @TheXcrazymanxX 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Caffeine levels are very hard to determine.
      Generally the Indian (Assam) variety has more caffeine than the Chinese variety and the smaller and younger the leaf the more caffeine. Don’t confuse this with a small broken leaf grade after processing.
      The age of the plant and the methods of cultivation all play a part in caffeine levels.
      To say that black tea has more caffeine than white or green tea would be false as a grade of white tea consisting of only small leaf buds is likely to have more.
      Also if I may add, Tea per 1kg has more caffeine than coffee but we generally only use 2-3g per cup making it less.
