Introducing my newest favorite Phoenix tea of all time! Fell in love at just tasting the leaves raw. Waiting for the finished roast. Today’s batch of 4 jins has been spoken for but I can get the next batch in 2 days… Can’t wait!
And the name of this tea? 鴨屎香 Duck Poop Fragrance. This apparently is a varietal only the locals appreciate. Forget the high flaunting Almond Fragrance or Song Zhong, name brand varietals. The locals know best- their favorite is this Duck Poop version. Apparently the ducks love to hide under these old trees and poop, fertilizing the trees but producing this unbelievably elegant and heavenly fragrance.
Of course Mr Wei was slightly embarassed. Tell people we have renamed it the Silver Flower Fragrance, he said. Nice name, but I prefer Duck Poop. I will have 1.5 jins available, as Mr. Wei’s tea is in super high demand.
