Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients
The Experience Box No. 8 – Honey + Tea + Crackers | Christmas Edition brings together products that reflect the best of Portuguese tradition and artisanal care. From the Orange Blossom Honey with Chilli Pepper, harvested in the Algarve and crafted with ancestral beekeeping expertise, to the tea selected in Portugal with notes of red fruits and spices, and the artisanal crackers produced in Aveiro, each element was chosen to convey authenticity, balance, and pleasure at the table.
This box values the land and local producers, preserving the traditional methods that define Portuguese gastronomy. The result is a sensory experience that unites the warmth of honey, the comforting aroma of tea, and the crunch of crackers — evoking the flavors and scents that warm the winter and make Christmas even more special.
Orange Blossom Honey from the Algarve with Chilli Pepper
We selected the smoothest Orange Blossom Honey from the Algarve, known for its light color, delicate flavor, and intense floral aroma. Harvested from the sunny plains of southern Portugal, this honey stands out for its smooth texture and balanced acidity, being lighter than rosemary honey and perfect for those who appreciate natural sweetness with a citrus touch.
The chilli pepper, with its vibrant red color, is a spice of pungent and enveloping flavor. Its heat, derived from capsaicin, adds energy and personality to the honey, creating a harmonious contrast between warmth and sweetness. This fusion results in a unique product — intense, vibrant, and surprising — that reflects the creative spirit of contemporary Portuguese gastronomy while staying connected to nature and the land.
Tea Selected in Portugal
The Black Tea with Red Fruits, Orchids and Spices in this box results from a careful selection made in Portugal, combining black teas of oriental origin with ingredients of aroma and color that evoke the Portuguese winter. The red fruits bring sweetness and freshness, while orchids and spices complete the aromatic profile with elegance and depth.
Prepared according to traditional methods, this tea is a tribute to the Portuguese maritime trade history and the art of blending global flavors with the national taste. Ideal to accompany desserts, biscuits, or the Crackers Capinhas Doces Cinnamon from this box, it’s an infusion that invites calm, conversation, and sharing — symbols of the true Christmas spirit.
Artisanal Crackers from Aveiro
Produced in Aveiro, the Crackers Capinhas Doces Cinnamon by Diplomata Biscuit represent the perfect meeting of tradition and modernity. Created with simple ingredients like flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, they are vegan, lactose-free, and made through an artisanal process that values a light texture and authentic flavor.
