DESCRIPTION
ORGANIC ARTISAN GREEN TEA FROM OUR PARTNER CHA CAMÉLIA
Nosso Chá is the result of the first green tea harvest on the Portuguese mainland. The CHA CAMÉLIA tea plantation is located on the northern Portuguese coast in what is known as the “Land of Camellias” — the very first of its kind in this region. CHA CAMÉLIA uses only organic and artisanal production methods. Nosso Chá is hand-picked and processed in the traditional Asian style. This whole-leaf tea, with its complex and fresh aromas, allows for multiple infusions.
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
“Tea making is an art. Our mission is not only to produce our own tea but also to share our passion and knowledge about the complex world of tea.
Our main goal is to handle the whole leaves gently by hand, in order to release their delicate and complex aromas.”
The first harvest of the year takes place in spring, yielding the finest quality — as with all tea varieties. Only the top two leaf shoots and the still-closed bud are harvested.
TASTE
Nosso Chá offers a truly unique experience for all genuine green tea lovers, with its subtle salty notes and refreshing complexity. Like all teas from the CHA CAMÉLIA plantation, it is hand-picked and crafted according to Japanese tradition. The infusion is vividly green, naturally sweet, with a slightly salty, seaweed-like finish.
THE SPIRIT OF TEA
“The spirit of tea is the spirit of peace,
and the culture of tea is the culture of hospitality.
Tea creates an atmosphere that nurtures and strengthens good social relationships.
Yet, the spirit of tea cannot be confined to the tea house —
it is essential for the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature.”
