In the book Tea in the Azores An afternoon at Gorreana, Maria Emanuel Albergaria tells the story of Rita, a girl who spends an afternoon at the Gorreana Tea factory, where reality and dreams mix, where characters from different times and places appear to talk about tea, in the world and on the island of São Miguel, its origins, how it is produced, etc. All this is interwoven with the history of the factory itself.
Mariana Rio's illustrations complement and expand the text, enriching it and opening the way to dreams and a journey that goes beyond formal knowledge. The information notes that accompany the story refer to archive photographs and an in-depth contextualisation of the tale. The photographs by Daniel Blaufuks show what the factory looks like today. Tea Labels are a journey through the time and labor of a factory.
