Notorious for the potty mouth translation to “duck shit aroma,” this tea is far from a novelty. The story of this tea has many variations, but the gist is that a tea farmer had the best crop he ever had and didn’t want others sneaking into his garden to damage his tea or steal grafts from their plants. So, the farmer told his peers that his crop was no good and smelled of “duck feces,” hence the name “duck shit (feces) aroma."
Make no mistake - this tea is full of flavor and energy, and its texture is remarkable. I highly recommend this shiTEA! ;)
