The Azores is technically Europe bc it belong to Portugal. But the Azorean archipelago is in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, more or less mid way between Europe an North America. An it were desert island until the Portuguese found them.
@@LadyNikitaShark Why "technically"?! Out of the nine islands that form the Azores, seven are on the Eurasian tectonic plate. So, "technically" or not, geographically speaking they are as much part of Europe as any other islands east of the North Atlantic ridge! And the other two that are on the North American plate are still in Europe, as they are part of that same archipelago.
@@diogoribeiro1804 Queen Catarina de Bragança never ruled Britain. As queen consort and wife of King Charles II, she never held the reins of power, quite the opposite! As a devout Roman Catholic living in a Kingdom barely out of a civil war that had viciously pitched Protestants against Catholics, she would not have stood a chance and was looked down on by everyone who detested Papists of any nationality. Now, imagine her fate if she had lived in England at the time of Charles Stuart, and had been married to him, instead...
Absolutely love their tea. Did you know you can buy it on Amazon? My family ancestry comes from Azores. I believe the Cabral family also lived on San Miguel Island. Absolutely beautiful scenery. I hope to visit one day.
@@ardas77 i never heard about that! And Canary/ Guanche Islands are situated in North África, next to Morocco! And as a colony, s panish overseas territory, what ever i don' t CARE about that! Maybe in Bermuda, British territory or Martinique, French territory, they have coffe too! Etc !!I don' t know, and i don' t care about that!!! That's why i wrote about coffee in Portugal, my country!
Let me just correct you. Gorreana is one of two tea plantations in S. Miguel, Azores. Yet the biggest, ther is a second one, one town over, Porto Formoso.
Well... With a little help of machines, which they actually have to hold in their hands. 😉 So maybe not "handpicked" in it's truest definition but handpicking 45 hectares would probably take them ages without a little help.
Tea or coffee, what do you prefer?
Tea! 🇵🇹👍🏻
I like both! Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines!
Tea
I like them both equally. I'm drinking earl grey right now (loose leaf) but I am ditching coffee for a few months.
I never drank coffee yet, only tea. SK
Miss my island so much.
Filmed Pre Covid hence no masks! Glad you enjoyed your visit! Come back again!!!

The Portuguese taught the English to drink tea with Queen Catarina de Bragança that ruled Britain
@Let's Travel Where, exactly, are those tea plantations on the mainland and in the UK?!

"Handpicked"!? =S That's not really what I would called "handpicked"...
Well... With a little help of machines, which they actually have to hold in their hands. 😉 So maybe not "handpicked" in it's truest definition but handpicking 45 hectares would probably take them ages without a little help.
@@dweuromaxx People still pick my hand. May I suggest this great documentary ;) th-cam.com/video/s8VNJ88AFWw/w-d-xo.html =)
On the earth there are two teams, Tea Team & Coffe Team. I´m not very keen on the Tea Team
Any Japanese tea farmer would be shocked to see the leaves being damaged just from harvesting. With each step, the tea leaf loses part of its soul
