Tea No.8 · Oolong orgânico

In Chinese, Oolong means “Black Dragon”, a name inspired by an ancient legend in which a tea grower witnessed a black dragon emerging from a tea plant. Organic Shui Xian Oolong is crafted through a complex and carefully controlled process that gives this tea its distinctive character.

The leaves are first withered under the sun and then gently shaken to bruise their edges, encouraging a controlled oxidation process. Oxidation is then intentionally halted through heat, creating what is traditionally described as a partially oxidised tea — positioned between green tea and black tea.

The result is an elegant and balanced infusion with a smooth, rounded character, delicate floral and vegetal nuances, and a refined aromatic profile without pronounced bitterness.

At Casa das Graças, it forms part of our curated collection of natural teas, selected for the authenticity of their origin, the quality of their leaves and the sensory experience they bring to every cup.

A tea of balance, elegance and timeless tradition.
