Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong: The Tea with the Most Daring Name and the Most Elegant Soul

You’ve probably heard of it – the tea with the most unforgettable (and perhaps off-putting) name. But behind the bold "Duck Shit" label lies one of the most exquisite and sought-after oolongs from Phoenix Mountain: Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong.

The Story Behind the Name 

Don't let the name fool you! The story goes that a tea farmer, wanting to protect his unique tea bushes from being stolen, came up with this peculiar name to deter thieves. He claimed the soil his tea was planted in was "duck shit soil," making the tea smell, well, unappealing. The trick worked, and the name stuck.
Thankfully, the aroma is anything but what the name suggests. Its official, more elegant name is Silver Flower Fragrance (Yin Hua Xiang), which perfectly captures its floral character.

The Taste Experience 

So, what does it actually taste like?

• Aroma 香气: Prepare for an intoxicating burst of sweet, creamy notes of almond and orchids. The fragrance is potent, complex, and lingers long after you've finished your cup.
  
  

• Liquor 茶汤: The brewed tea is a bright, golden-yellow color. The taste is smooth, robust, and incredibly refreshing, with a pronounced honey-sweet aftertaste known as "hui gan."
  
  

• Why We Love It 我们为何爱它: Duck Shit Aroma is the perfect introduction to the world of Dan Cong. Its bold and immediate fragrance makes it incredibly approachable and memorable. It's a true crowd-pleaser.
  

Brewing Suggestion / 冲泡建议

To fully appreciate this tea, we recommend using a small Gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use water just off the boil (around 95-100°C or 203-212°F). A quick rinse of the leaves will awaken their aroma. Then, steep for 3-5 seconds for the first few infusions, increasing the time slightly with each subsequent brew. Good quality Duck Shit can be brewed 7-10 times, evolving with each steep.

Conclusion / 结语

Duck Shit Aroma Dan Cong is a testament to the idea that the best things often come in surprising packages. It's a tea that breaks the ice, challenges perceptions, and ultimately wins over every tea lover with its stunning flavor profile.
