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.
