Our herbal teas are certified as organic and obtained through a delicate process that produces high-quality products and minimizes waste.
Care for the Land
The Pur Terroir herbal teas are a Soalheiro brand, which is a producer of Alvarinho wine and herbal teas in the North of Portugal. In this territory of smallholdings, it was tradition to plant aromatic herbs in the family backyards. The Pur Terroir herbal teas pay respect to this time-honoured tradition, valuing it and combining family care and an innovative process.
Our plants are harvested and selected by hand, dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the aromatic and therapeutic properties of each one of them, resulting in an intense drink that helps to promote a sense of well-being.
A unique territory
The plants grow in the Monção and Melgaço territory, a valley surrounded by mountains in the North of Portugal.
The granite soils and mountains that protect us from the Atlantic influence, causing a large temperature range, make us unique.
From the territory to the cup
Cultivation
The territory characteristics, the perfect time for harvesting, a low dehydration temperature and a careful manual selection, assure a high concentration of essential oils, important to the unique aroma and flavor of our herbal teas.
