I liked so much the place. We went to the factory in a sunday when we arrived the employees were cleaning and washing the factory. They were so friendly. We were enjoyed free tea while our tour guide where giving us a speech about the factory. We tasted a few flavors of ice cream with hard names to remember, made... More

Worth to visit on your way back from Furnas to Ponta Delgada and have an afternoon tee while watching the short movie about the manufacturing of the tee.

A visit to the tea plantation is in itself interesting, since it is the last remaining one in Europe, also because they still use the old equipment and ways they did many generations ago.

When coming back down again, pay attention to the goats they use for cleaning and maintaining the... More

Do you love tea? Have any idea how the process is until it reaches a cup of tea? Visit this factory and you'll know all the way that the tea has to pass. Recomended!

If you visit it on a sunday, you will feel like in a museum for life in the last century. If you visit it on a working's day morning you will see the real production of tea, with the same techniques they learned from the Chinese. Worth a visit.
