Duck Shit (Ya Shi Xiang, 鸭屎香)

Duck Shit was so desired that tea planters resorted to naming it "Duck Shit" (Ya Shi Xiang) from the yellowish-brown soil it is grown in to dissuade people from picking this precious tea. Fortunately, Duck Shit is nothing like its name suggests. ​This tea is extremely sweet and creamy in taste and carries a wonderful jasmine aroma.
