Duck-shit Aroma
£26.00Price
鸭屎香 - Ya Shi Xiang
Every great tea has a story; this one has a legend.
A farmer on Phoenix Mountain grew something so fragrant that neighbours came asking for cuttings. To protect his trees, he fenced ducks around the bush and told anyone who asked that the soil is nothing special, just earth where ducks wander.
The name was born from a lie. The tea, of course, is nothing of its kind.
Aroma
Freshly baked pastry, dried tropical fruit mix, floral, citrus rind, vanilla.
Taste
Gentle clarity unfolding into layered vanilla and tropical fruit. Pineapple at the forefront, becoming honeyed pastry.
Body
Light to medium, smooth and silky.
Finish
Clean, short. But the aftertaste is long: floral, baked ripened pineapple pastry.
