From Bitterleaf Teas

Description from bitterleafteas.com:
While our sole Yashi Xiang offering for 2024 falls squarely into the category of daily drinker, this tea manages an impressive job of not only capturing the unique fragrance this tea is known for, but also offers a notable milky/creamy quality that is normally reserved for more expensive high altitude dancongs.

While Yashixiang literally translates to “Duck Shit Fragrance”, we can assure you that the fragrance is much more pleasant than it sounds, offering a crisp honeysuckle (金银花) fragrance that lingers in the mouth.

This was certainly a pleasant surprise for this year, outclassing other versions of this varietal that can cost many times more.

Please note that the 250g size does not include a tin.

$0.27-0.37/gram

Varietal: Yashixiang/鸭屎香/Duck Shit Fragrance
Region: Wudong Shan, Guangdong

Upon smelling the dry leaf I noticed some milkiness and the smell of fresh asian pear. The wet leaf had an almondy and honey smell with small amounts of orchid and green notes. The texture was milky and smooth with almost no astringency. When the tea hit my mouth it came with an aroma bomb. The tea is mainly a fruity tea with peachy and apple-y aromas with some nuts and coconut and a mineral taste in the background. Worth noting that the tea isn’t charcoal roasted so it maintains the vegetal note throughout the steeps. Overall a nice daily drinker and worth the price! I used the Chaozhou Gongfu method with a Chaozhou teapot to brew this tea.
