Visit Gorreana’s tea fields
Maia, São Miguel, Portugal
Gorreana combines a working tea factory with fields that climb above São Miguel’s northern coast. Follow the marked circular route through the plantation and surrounding countryside, then return to learn about processing the leaves and taste the tea. The official walk is relatively short, but includes dirt paths and changes in level, so sensible footwear is useful. Check the factory’s current visiting arrangements if seeing the production spaces is central to your visit.
