Lao Cong Wu Dong Duck Shit King – Old Bush Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong Tea
Lao Cong Wu Dong Duck Shit King Oolong – Ancient Tree Phoenix Dancong
Flavor Profile: Unparalleled fragrance, wild honeysuckle sweetness, hints of fresh peppercorn
Harvested from ancient tea trees in Wudong Mountain, Guangdong, this Phoenix Dancong Oolong is one of the most famous and rare teas in China. Known locally as “Ya Shi Xiang” (Duck Shit Fragrance), this legendary tea surprises newcomers with its unusual name, but its elegant aroma and extraordinary taste have made it a treasure among oolong enthusiasts.
The name originates from a local legend: the first grower jokingly described the tea as “duck poop” to keep its secret safe, as it grew on special yellowish soil resembling duck manure. Today, the tea is celebrated as one of the pinnacles of Dancong Oolong.
When brewed, the tightly rolled dark leaves unfurl to release a bright golden liquor, filled with layers of orchid, wild honeysuckle, honey, and mineral notes, finishing with a lingering sweetness. With each infusion, this tea unveils new depths of flavor and lasting mountain energy, making it perfect for connoisseurs seeking an exceptional oolong experience.
