Dancong tea is a premium oolong originating from the Fenghuang village, Guangdong province, and this 'Duck Shit Aroma Oolong' is a renowned aroma type within the Phoenix Dancong family. A quick note on the name: Rest assured, it has nothing to do with ducks! The name comes from a farmer trying to hide the secret of his uniquely fragrant tea trees.
This tea is crafted using traditional charcoal roasting, resulting in a beautifully balanced taste and a lasting fragrance, making it ideal for all tea enthusiasts.
