Bragança, Portugal
Are there any tea shops . . . . .or did Catherine of Bragança, who introduced tea to England, come from the surrounding area?!
Actually the “of Bragança” means that she was from the House of Bragança, a royal dynasty of Portuguese origin who ruled from 17th century until the end of monarchy in Portugal in the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore it doesn’t exactly have something to do with her being from the city of Bragança in northern Portugal. (If I am not mistaken she was born in Alentejo – South of Portugal)
However, I’m sure that there are tea shops in Bragança in a similar way to the rest of the country. Not as many as in England, but they exist here too 😉
Learnt something new 😊 and yes one of the reasons I love Portugal is that tea is made properly and that green tea is common.
