Museu Fábrica de Chá do Porto Formoso
The island of S. Miguel has, along its northern coast, the only two tea plantations in Europe for industrial purposes. The Porto Formoso Tea Factory is one of them, combining the production component with another one, aimed at preserving the memories of tea making since its first steps on the Azorean islands, in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Estrada Regional nº 24., Porto Formoso

Description
This is the museum space, where guided tours are provided at any time of the day, within the opening hours. Then, visitors are invited to taste the teas in the beautiful room to reconstitute a typical São Miguel cuisine, or on the terrace with a magnificent view of the tea plantations and the village of Porto Formoso. Every year, in the spring, tea picking is recreated in typical old-fashioned attire.
