Tea from the Edge of Europe- Tea Tasting by Elena Goncharik
Did you know the Azores are home to one of the oldest — and only — tea plantations in Europe? Chá Gorreana has been growing tea on São Miguel since 1883, and the story of how tea made it to this volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic is worth telling.
Our certified tea expert Elena @sip_pages recently visited the plantation herself — and brought back four teas for us to explore together:
White Tea
Green Tea (Hysson)
Jasmine Tea
Black Tea (Pekoe)
Join us on Sunday, June 28th · 3–5pm 🌿 for a tasting session where we’ll brew all four, share the story behind them, and slow down for an afternoon of tea, curiosity & good company.
Elena is a Berlin-based tea expert who shares her passion for tea on Instagram under @sip_pages. She regularly documents tea journeys and special discoveries from the world of tea — and offers private tea ceremonies in Berlin, guiding guests through the culture and art of tea.
