Avery F. drank Chou Shi King of Duck Shit Dan Cong Oolong Tea by Yunnan Sourcing

135 tasting notes

I tried the April 2020 harvest. This tea is almost more reminiscent of a jasmine-scented green tea than a dan cong oolong, but milder and less prone to bitterness. It’s extremely floral, for certain. Very pale liquor. It’s closer to green tea than even most anxi oolongs I’ve tried, but it has the depth of a good oolong. It also benefits from a higher temperature brew than I’d use for a green tea. Definitely worth having again!

Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Green

Preparation

190 °F / 87 °C 0 min, 15 sec 3 g 2 OZ / 55 ML

I like trying unique teas, especially those from areas of the world not known for tea production. It’s always something of a gamble and can lead to all kinds of surprises.

While I’m usually not into flavoured or scented teas, there are definitely exceptions. Hei cha which is not pu-erh tends to be my favourite category of tea, but I like some teas of all types. Smoky, creamy, and honey-like tastes generally appeal to me the most.

Top five teas I’ve had thus far (in no particular order):

Mekong Breakfast from Rakkasan Tea Company

2015 Gao Jia Shan “Cha Duo Tang” Wild Harvested Hunan Fu Brick Tea, from Yunnan Sourcing

Asahina Gyokuro “Hon Gyokuro” from Hojo Tea

Any good Lapsang Souchong

2018 Cha Yu Lin “Liu Bu Xi Village” Tian Jian Basket Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
