Teas from Soalheiro and Niepoort: The ancient drinks for every day

When creative minds venture out, there is a good chance that new things will come that no one had thought of before. That was how two big names in the wine industry started to dedicate themselves to a new segment: teas.

Adding the infusions to the vineyards, Alvarinho to the relaxation of nature, the Quinta de Soalheiro started to dedicate a space of its vineyards to the cultivation of tea infusions in the Vinho Verde region. 

Connected to wines for 40 years, Soalheiro is known for producing one of the best Alvarinho wines in Portugal and today aligns the focus of biodiversity with the tradition of simplicity in consumption, favoring infusions of very tasty and healthy spontaneous herbs. An explosion of aromas present in 4 varieties available in stores such as: Soalheiro Infusion Cidreira, Soalheiro Infusion Mint Green Tea, in addition to Soalheiro Infusion Lúcia Lima and Soalheiro Infusion Perpétua Vermelha, that bring the aromas and flavors of the region, each with its charm. 

Another family that dove into teas was the Niepoort with bold ideas, where they decided to go to Japan to find the specialization they needed and brought all the knowledge to the Douro region, with the main objective of producing high quality organic green tea. This was in mid-2011 and, knowing the hard work for tea production, they became friends with a couple that have been producing tea in Japan for over 40 years, who not only fell in love with Portugal, but also embraced the Camélia project.

In 2019 they celebrated the first harvest of plants that reached maturity for tea production, where most of the process, since the harvest, is done by hand, with all the dedication and care. 

Giving life to a culture that comes from the East and that make this unique experience of just being here and now enjoying the present moment when having these teas, which arrive in the most varied aromas found in their products called Chá Príncipe, Florchá, Pipachá, Sensha Limão , Tisane Flavors of Portugal, among others.

Bearing in mind not only the aromas and flavors, but also what they awaken in us, teas are ancient drinks that bring a feeling of comfort to the body and mind, providing a pleasant and relaxing experience that arrive in a great time to compose our portfolio.
