Premium Phoenix Dan Cong Tea (Duck Shit Aroma)

There is still no unified explanation for why this tea is called "Duck Shit Aroma". The main explanation is that the local tea farmers, in order to prevent this tea variety from being stolen, claimed it tasted bad and smelled like duck droppings, to deter others from stealing the tea bushes.

Another explanation is that the shape of the fresh tea leaves resembles the leaves of a plant called "Duck's Foot Wood", which over time evolved into the name "Duck Shit Aroma".

Although the name sounds unappetizing, the aroma of this tea is truly captivating. The dry tea leaves are tightly rolled, dark green and oily in appearance. The infused tea liquor ranges from orange-yellow to reddish-brown in color. The fragrance is pronounced and the flavor is rich and sweet with a lasting aftertaste.

So despite the unusual name, the "Duck Shit Aroma" Phoenix Dan Cong tea is highly prized for its exceptional qualities.
