Sobre Cantinho das Aromáticas
O Cantinho das Aromáticas was born in January 2002, in Vila Nova de Gaia, as a 2.5-hectare urban farm devoted to the organic production of aromatic, medicinal and culinary plants. For more than two decades it was a Portuguese reference point in agroecology, gathered one of the largest private collections of aromatic plants on the Iberian Peninsula, and received thousands of visitors, between its tea house, shop and environmental education activities. Its infusions were honored in national competition, with the gold at the 2014 Concurso Nacional de Sal, Ervas Aromáticas e Condimentares — the national Salt, Aromatic Herbs and Seasonings competition at the Feira Nacional de Agricultura — going to the Tomilho Bela-Luz. The original company closed in September 2023, after 21 years, 9 months and 7 days of activity. The brand, however, did not disappear. The Associação Cantinho Sustentável, a non-profit founded on 1 February 2024, acquired all the assets and trademarks of the old company and relaunched O Cantinho das Aromáticas with a new purpose: to promote sustainability, the valuing of natural resources and social inclusion through environmentally responsible practices, built on agroecology, regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration and environmental education. Luís Alves, founder and mentor of the original project, remains at the head of this continuation. The relaunch was marked with the First Edition tisane, inspired by the original recipes and conceived partly as a way of funding the association's activities: an organic tisane of hipericão-do-gerês, lemon thyme, cinnamon and clove, packaged in low-impact materials, in a 20 g format that yields a liter of infusion. The online store is open again. The current catalog holds two organic infusions: Erva Príncipe, of hand-cut leaves, in a 30 g pack, and Erva Laranja, a digestive blend of peppermint, orange, cocoa, ginger and stevia, in a 35 g pack, to be drunk hot or very cold.
