companhia portugueza do cha
Tea Importer
The hot tea beverage was first introduced to Europe by Portuguese priests and merchants in China during the 16th century. Less than 100 years later Europe and the English Empire had become obsessed with the variety of teas that were arriving at their ports through Portuguese merchants. After the fall of the Portuguese Empire, it was a challenge to find a quality tea house and a proper tea service in the capital of Lisbon until this gem of a little shop opened in December 2015. The aromas are the first thing you will notice when you walk into the cozy Companhia Portugueza do Cha tea house. The owner is passionate about teas, with an impressive selection from China, the Azores Islands, India, Vietnam, Nepal, And Japan just to name a few. The number 28 electric trolley stops right in front of the shop.

cerveja oitava colina
Microbrewery in Lisbon
Partners in zymurgy, (beer making), João Lobo e João Mendes make their fermented brews honestly, with the finest ingredients, without tricks, or chemicals. Just water, malt, hops (a lot), and yeast. These are unfiltered beers, full of flavor, with natural carbonation produced by fermentation. There are three styles available: Zé Arnaldo, Urraca Vendaval e Florinda, and the tastes are far from conventional. Florinda, for example, has an aroma of tropical juice. Zé Arnaldo, is a Robust Porter, a dark beer with sweet malts and roasted. It is creamy and dense and persistent brownish foam. Urraca Vendaval is an India Pale Ale, quite bitter with rich malts and citrus aromas. Sit at a table right where the beer is made and sample some Portuguese suds.

kasutera castella bakery
Bakery
Eat some delicious history at this tiny bakery. In 1543 the first Westerners to arrive in Japan were Portuguese arriving with objects that would change the course of history. Missionaries trying to evangelize Japan also brought eating habits that still persist in Japanese gastronomy today, (e.g. Tempura, and confectionery such as egg yolk, angel hair, called "Fios de Ovos” and Castella.). It was the Castella that the Japanese most eagerly adopted into their bakeries, and still, today consider a national delicacy. The Japanese love of Castella spread quickly. Over time it was modified and adapted to Japanese tastes under the name “KASUTERA”, sold in elegant rectangular boxes. In 1571 the city of Nagasaki was founded with the purpose of serving as a commercial port with westerners and limiting exposure to the strong presence of Portuguese influences. Countless bakeries dedicated to the making of Castella emerged, and more than four centuries later the most renowned of these bakeries still exist in Nagasaki.
Today, the gift of Castella in Japan is synonymous with respect and friendship. It is common in Japanese weddings where bride and groom thank their guests for coming with an offer of KASUTERA. Eventually, KASUTERA made its way back to Portugal by the proprietors at the famous Cafe Castella do Paulo. However, in 2015 the cafe closed its doors near Praca do Comercio as the owners relocated to Kyoto. In November 2017 KASUTERA has appeared on the streets of Lisbon again thanks to a vibrant young baker of the Cafe Castella do Paulo who was fortunate to have been giving the recipe. Try the traditional or green tea versions in this minimalist bakery with a Japanese esthetic. Take it home to serve with creme fresh, wild fruits and berries, or gelato.
