Starting in 1578 the Burgundians have been importing tea from Monteangelo, with the exception of between 1820-1897. In 1578 the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company established an emporium which later became Vitale in southeastern Monteangelo. They worked with the inhabitants of the island, some remnants of the native Phaxsos population, Bergendii peasants, and various seafarers who had made the islands their home, to trade for tea leaves and other resources. In the early 1600s, the company started creating a series of organized tea leaf plantations across the highlands. The first plantations encircled the middle range of Mt. Anghel where the most desirable tea leaves had been cultivated by the natives. The company created a highway from Vitale to the foothills of Mt. Anghel with a series of forts along the route to protect the tea in transit. As the plantations grew, the company established a small army to protect its investment, following the successful model being utilized by the Burgundian West Punth Trading Company at that time. As the eastern colonies of the Burgundian West Punth Trading Empire started to produce high-quality teas of their own the need for an expanded operation in Monteangelo became apparent to the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company.

As the eastern colonies of the Burgundian West Punth Trading Empire started to produce high-quality teas of their own the need for an expanded operation in Monteangelo became apparent to the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company. Productivity skyrocketed in the 1700s as new plantations were opened across Hautterre and the port of Vital was expanded. Drawing workers from across Fiannria, especially the Duchy of Burgundie, and Ixnay, the population of Monteangelo boomed from approximately 50,000 to 150,000 between 1578 and 1804. Vast infrastructure projects crisscrossed the island and the growth of the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Empire seemed inevitable. | ||
In 1804 a hurricane ravaged the southeastern coast of the island and destroyed Vitale. The rains drowned much of that year's tea crop as well. Just as the plantations were starting to recover in 1805 a cholera outbreak struck the population, which because of the road network, spread rapidly across the island. New workers were brought in from Ixnay but they brought a second bought of cholera in 1807. The productivity, greatly hampered was unable to recover. The vacuum left by the lack of tea coming out of Monteangelo and southern Punth was soon filled by the Burgundian Grand Crona Trading Empire's imports of Cartadaniaan coffee. By the time that the operations on Monteangelo were restored to merely half of their previous capacity the Burgundian South Levantine Trading Empire had moved its focus elsewhere and the Monteangeline adventure was abandoned. The last Burgundian South Levantine Trading Company ship with tea left on August 9, 1820. | In 1804 a hurricane ravaged the southeastern coast of the island and destroyed Vitale.
