Ya Shi Xiang

A wonderful Fenghuang Dancong from the village Shiguping and of rather lighter shade, slightly roasted over litchi wood charcoal. Yashixiang can be translated as "duckshit scent" and is one of the more particular Shuixian-subvarieties. According to the legend, some tea trees were growing beautifully in a field that was fertilized with duck manure, and the tea developed a beautiful, quite singular aroma, upon which the tea was called duckshit scent.

Shiguping is second to Fenghuang only in renown regarding Dancong. The terroir is somewhat different to the one found on Mount Wudong, above the village of Fenghuang.
