Duck Shit Oolong tea is a rare Dan Cong varietal grown in and around Ping Keng Tou village in the Phoenix Mountains outside of Chaozhou in Guangdong Province. The tea bushes from which our Duck Shit Oolong are more than 80 years old, growing naturally.
It’s called “duck shit” because in the Ping Keng Tou village area the soil has a somewhat yellow brown look to it and is unique to that area. With all teas the soil type is a key element in the tea’s taste.
The tea itself is lightly oxidized and the leaves are still mostly green in color. The brewed tea is highly aromatic with flower, honey and longan notes. The mouthfeel is delicate and soothing with a taste that perfectly balances sweet, bitter, and astringent notes, none of which are overpowering. This is for one ounce.
We always use environmentally friendly packaging of our teas. We never use candy, sugar, or flavorings in our teas.
