It comes from the misty Phoenix Mountains (Fenghuang Shan) in the South Chinese province of Guangdong. Despite its unusual name, which translates to \"Duck Shit Aroma,\" it is an absolutely noble top-tier tea. The name dates back to a clever tea farmer: to protect his newly discovered, delicious tea plant from theft by neighbors, he simply claimed that the tea grew in soil enriched with yellow duck manure and tasted like it, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe flavor profile of this oolong is deep, multi-layered, and strongly shaped by its origin. At the forefront is a striking, stony minerality, a direct result of the region's weathered volcanic granite soil. This rocky base is accompanied by a subtle, creamy sweetness, bringing nuances of almond milk and ripe peaches. Through traditional artisanal charcoal roasting, the tea also gains a noble, slightly woody depth and a fine tartness reminiscent of grapefruit zest, which leads into a very long-lasting, pleasantly dry aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWhat makes Duck Shit Dancong so special is the traditional \u003cem\u003esingle-tree concept\u003c\/em\u003e. The word \u003cem\u003eDancong\u003c\/em\u003e translates to \u003cem\u003esingle bush\u003c\/em\u003e, as the leaves were originally harvested from separate, often centuries-old tea trees. The oolong unfolds its full complexity when prepared in the traditional Gongfu style (with many short infusions). While the roasted and fruity notes resonate in the first rounds, the mineral, clear character of the mountain emerges ever more purely and refreshingly as the session continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did we add this to our shop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring our travels through China, we kept falling in love with the incredibly aromatic smashed lemon teas that you can find on almost every corner there.
