I spent time tasting teas, checking out the old machines, and exploring the grounds when I was there.

That would be "Porta do Gato"...! "Thin tip" or "narrow point" would be the literal translation of the name of the capital. I would imagine the name might have something to do with the shape of the island or area around the capital.
