Ya Shi Xiang (Duck Shit Aroma) has gained unexpected popularity in recent years due to its unusual name. It is also one of our best-selling teas.
The name Ya Shi Xiang was given by the tea farmer who first planted it. Back then, the locals who tried Ya Shi Xiang all praised its taste. The tea farmer, afraid that others would steal the tea trees, falsely claimed it was called “Ya Shi Xiang.” Though the “duck shit” is fake, the aroma is real.
The most distinctive features of Ya Shi Xiang are its strong aftertaste and its exceptional durability in brewing, lasting for more than 10 infusions with lingering fragrance.
