Phoenix Dan Cong - Duck Shit Aroma - Ya Shi Xiang

Our Ya Shi Xiang or Duck Shit Fragrance tea has a bright golden yellow liquor that gives a honey and floral fragrance filling the mouth with a thick and sweet taste with notes of dry green raisins and golden peach. There is a perfect balance of sweet, bitter and slight astringents, none of which overpowering.

The name Duck Shit Aroma sounds awful, but the tea does not smell like duck shit, it's actually one of most enjoyable Dan Cong teas with very well balance flavour and aroma!
