ABOUT THE PROJECT
TEA HOUSE
KABO
BIOPHILIC TREE CABINS
Fully off-grid houses on stilts, designed with biophilic principles, offer a tranquil space for private tea ceremonies and overnight stays. They are available to guests participating in our residencies, and workshops—multi-day immersive experiences designed to inspire learning, creativity, and a deeper connection with nature.
By growing tea we aim to create a unique tourist destination that showcases biophilic architecture, integrates permaculture principles, and promotes an ecologically sustainable lifestyle—where nature and people are not adversaries, but mutual allies.

WHY TEA?
Now, we are witnessing a growing wave of tea culture across Europe. Consumers are increasingly focused on health-conscious lifestyles, organic and premium products, as well as ethical and sustainable production. Additionally, since the war, tens of thousands of people from Ukraine and Russia have relocated to Europe, bringing their tea knowledge and culture with them—opening tea houses, importing quality tea, and spreading this tradition further.
European consumers are actively looking for natural and organic alternatives. The European tea market reached approximately $4.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to $6.8 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 5–6%.
Meanwhile, Portugal—despite having the historic Gorreana plantation in the Azores—still lacks a fully integrated tea-growing and experiential concept on the mainland. We see a unique opportunity to create a tea farm, tea house, and immersive residency that brings together tradition and innovation in harmony with nature.

Chinese tea ceremonies first took root in Russia and later spread to Ukraine and other post-Soviet countries. Today, there are hundreds of offline tea houses and dozens of online retailers serving millions of passionate tea enthusiasts. The culture can be compared to that of specialty coffee: people invest in professional, traditional brewing tools—like teapots made from rare and expensive Yixing clay, tea trays, and other ceremonial items. Almost everyone is familiar with Pu-erh; it’s no longer exotic but part of daily life for many.
ABOUT US
Our team is made up of people with deep experience in tea cultivation, sales, and cultural education, along with backgrounds in event production and sustainability. We were among the pioneers who helped shape and grow the premium tea market in our home countries, witnessing its rise from a niche interest to a cultural phenomenon. Now, we aim to promote and adapt this experience in Europe.
