In response about the tea plantations in São Miguel, the only ones in Europe:
To look for walks, this is what you need:

About the tea plantations, they are both great. Porto Formoso is newer, Gorreana is the one that stayed operational trough the centuries and the one I personaly prefer. You can taste the tea for free in both and you can see a video about the tea in both of them.
This walk goes trough the tea fields. You will like it: http://wanderwege.visitazores.com/de/wanderwege-der-azoren/sao-miguel/cha-gorreana
By the way, do you know we have a trail run that goes trough this fields? It will be in June. I've run it last year and it is epic and beautifull. Check it out here: http://ecologictrailrunaz.wix.com/etra
