Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong Tea (Pinyin: Ya Shi Xiang), colloquially known as "Duck Shit Tea," is a highly distinctive loose-leaf oolong tea, best known for its unusual name.
Beyond its quirky name, this premium tea boasts a long and esteemed history, originating from the famed Dan Cong tea series in Phoenix Mountain (Fenghuang Shan), Guangdong, China.
The Story Behind the Name
The name “Duck Shit Aroma” reflects the humor of local tea farmers. Legend has it that these tea trees were planted in a type of yellow soil nicknamed “duck shit soil,” and the leaves resemble duck feet. This quirky characteristic inspired the unique name.
Known for its strong and lasting fragrance, this tea has earned the nickname “the perfume of tea” and is considered one of the most prized oolong teas in China.
Expertly Crafted Semi-Fermented Tea
As a semi-fermented oolong, Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong Tea is crafted with meticulous care. The most critical step lies in the expertise of the tea farmers, who carefully judge the leaves to craft the tea, leveraging generations of hands-on knowledge to assess seasonal growth, leaf quality, and optimal harvest timing.
Based on this evaluation and the desired roasting level, they decide whether to produce a Light Aroma Oolong or Rich Aroma Oolong, ensuring the flavor perfectly matches the tea’s unique characteristics.
