Watch the Gongfu brewing of our Ya Shi Xiang Dan Cong Tea Sample (Duck Shit Aroma) - 2024 Premium

This tea sample, Premium Ya Shi Xiang Dan Cong (Duck Shit Aroma) Dan Cong Oolong Tea, originates from Wudong Village, located on Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, Guangdong, at an altitude of over 1,200 meters.

The volcanic soil of Phoenix Mountain, together with its rich 900-year tea-growing history, makes it the birthplace of both "Phoenix Dan Cong" and "Gong Fu Tea."

Characteristics

  • The unique "Duck Shit Aroma" (Ya Shi Xiang) variety is renowned for its intriguing name and rich history.
  • Grown in the high-altitude mist of Phoenix Mountain, the tea trees absorb dew as nourishment, giving rise to the distinctive quality of "High Mountain Mist Tea."
  • Partnering with two farmers in Wudong Village for over a decade, the tea is cultivated pesticide-free, with an annual production of only about 60 kilograms.
  • The dry tea leaves are tightly rolled, thick, and uniform, showcasing the characteristics of premium loose-leaf oolong tea.
  • Known as the "Perfume of Tea" for its rich fragrance, the tea brews into a bright, golden-yellow liquor that is clear and radiant.

Flavor

  • The aroma is rich and fresh, with natural notes of osmanthus.
  • The tea is mellow and smooth upon entry, with a rich, layered taste.
  • It offers a strong aftertaste (hui gan), with a lasting fragrance that lingers in the mouth and throat.
