Feng Huang Dancong Ya Shi Xiang

Premium Guangdong Oolong with rich floral aroma and deep aftertaste

One of the more amusingly named teas out there is Feng Huang Dancong Ya Shi Xiang, which translates—quite literally—to "Duck Shit Fragrance."

There’s a story behind the name: according to local legend, the farmers who discovered this particularly aromatic tea bush wanted to keep its quality a secret. So, to discourage others from taking an interest, they gave it the most unappealing name they could think of "duck shit." Whether or not that worked at the time, the name stuck, and ironically, it’s now one of the most sought-after Dancong oolongs.

When you steep Ya Shi Xiang, the aroma rises up like a gentle blend of milk and blooming flowers—sweet, soft, and slightly creamy. The first sip reveals a taste reminiscent of honeydew melon, smooth and juicy, but with a refined sharpness that gives it character. The finish is long and reverberates gently on the palate, leaving behind a lingering floral sweetness.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	95°C 203°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.

❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.

The wet leaves have a delicious aroma of toasted cereal and dried cranberries. The flavor of the tea is quite deep and rich. It's creamy and toasty with a hint of granola and some notes of melon. Really outstanding tea! I will definitely buy it again
