This amazing white tea comes from my colleague Clara from the Azores.
I am super proud to have a small batch of this delicious tea in my range. A beautiful quality pure white tea from Europe. How cool is that!
In the 1980s, the São Miguel Agrarian Development Service (Azores/Portugal) planted 0.4 hectares with Camellia sinensis, more specifically the varietal ‘Assamica’. This variety is most commonly used for the production of black tea. In this small experimental plantation no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides are used. Clara Estrela Rego started producing white tea, dried naturally. The whole leaves reveal the unique terroir of the Azores – the oldest tea-producing area in Europe.
The Azores has a long history of tea. The oldest plantations in Europe can be found here. Not surprising when you consider that this island has a mild maritime climate, a wonderful place where the tea plants thrive and the picking season is relatively long. The local government has several tea gardens that are used to promote agriculture there.

flavor profile
A wonderfully soft and accessible white tea. It has an abundant floral character and fine body. This tea can handle various infusions well and is delicious even as an iced tea. A real everyone’s friend!
brewing advice
2 grams per cup and a water temperature of 90℃. Let the tea steep for about 2 minutes. You can also keep this time for a second infusion.
If you don’t have a temperature indication on your kettle, let the water cool for about 3 to 5 minutes after it has boiled.
For all teas, make them preferably with soft water (for example, spa blue). Our tap water is good to drink cold and of good quality, but often quite “hard”. That means that as soon as you heat it, the calcium and magnesium in the water start a “fight” with the aromas of the tea. In other words: hard water makes your tea, in addition to being dark and cloudy, flat and bitter in taste. Shame!
