Winter Duck Shit Aroma "Ya Shi Xiang Dan Cong"
Musky Lemon. Earthy. Sweet Jasmine. Spicy Grapefruit Peel.
You read that right! We love this tea dearly, and before you ask, no- no duck poop was used in this particular tea. Let us explain.
The story is rich and hilarious, if not vaguely apocryphal. The farmers of Ping Keng Tou village wanted to guard their quality tea bushes from poaching foreigners, and so due to the yellowish character of their mountains soil, they claimed they used heaps and heaps of duck shit to give the soil the character it needed for good tea. The name stuck, and we reap the rewards!
Dan Cong means “Single Bush”, referring to leaf picked from a single tree.
Winter picked Dan Cong Oolong has the smallest yield of the year, leading to its exclusivity and beautiful aroma. Of all the cups of duck shit we’ve had in our time, this is our favorite by far.
