What do you do if you discover a tea so delicious, that you want to keep it all for yourself? You call it 'Duck Shit tea' (Ya Shi Xiang). That's what the monk did who first discovered this special tea cultivar in the Phoenix Mountain of Guangdong.

Our Duck Shit tea is a lightly oxidised oolong tea with a honey-sweet and floral aroma and a viscous texture. The taste if refreshing and vibrant, as if you're enjoying a walk in a park on a Sunny Spring day.

Origin of the Name: Duck Shit Oolong

Legend has it that a monk in Ping Keng Tou village discovered a tea cultivar with an extraordinary taste, and sought to keep it a secret. He told villagers that the area's earth being covered with duck droppings. We can't verify whether this story is true or not. However, whatever measures taken to keep the tea just for himself, were ultimately unsuccessful: Duck Shit Oolong has become the most popular tea of the region.
