This tea is a medium oolong with a baked floral aroma, which is contrary to its name. Ya Shi Xiang, according to Teavivre’s description, translates to Duck Shit Aroma. I guess the person who named this tea only fed his ducks flowers. It has a buttery sweet taste with flavors of flowers and a little creaminess. There is a touch of savoriness and the flavor is quite complex. This tea is definitely something I would drink again.

The story goes that the farmer had a tree of such amazing aroma that everyone came from miles around to take illegal cuttings. So when they asked where the good tea came from he told them the wrong tree.
If they asked about the right tree he would say ‘no, not that one, it smells like duck shit’ and the name stuck
Thanks for the back story. I figured there was an interesting tale behind the name.
