Tea Kulture

Pipa Cha

Description

Pipa Chá is a unique oolong tea crafted by Chá Camélia in northern Portugal. The tea leaves matured for six months in used port barrels from Niepoort Winery in Porto, slowly absorbing subtle aromas of port and oak that shape the tea’s layered and distinctive character.

The base is a Chinese oolong tea refined in Portugal. Through barrel aging, the tea develops notes of dried fruit, honey and chocolate, together with a recognizable port wine nuance. The result is a rich yet elegant tea with depth and warmth.

The infusion carries aromas of ripe fruit and wood. With each re-steeping, new layers appear, from gentle sweetness to warm, wine-like accents that linger.

Tea Garden

Cha Camelia

In the north of Portugal, a few kilometres from the Atlantic coast, Nina Gruntkowski and Dirk Niepoort planted tea bushes on an abandoned vineyard near Vila do Conde. The Atlantic climate, with its humid air and mineral soil, gives the tea a character of its own: fresh, lightly saline and found nowhere else.

After eight years of care, the first harvest followed in 2019. Processing is done entirely by hand, using techniques the founders learned from Japanese tea masters. Chá Camélia is thus one of the few European tea gardens to enjoy international recognition.
