Description

The colourful name “duck shit fragrance” refers to a version of its origin story: legend has it that a tea farmer once told visiting tea enthusiasts that the mother tree of this tea originally grew in Wuling Mountain. It initially appeared unremarkable but was later transplanted to a lower-altitude area by the farmer’s family. Surprisingly, the tea trees thrived in the local yellow soil, which was colloquially referred to as “duck shit soil.” When the first harvest was brewed, it caused quite a sensation with its exceptional taste. As neighbours inquired about the name of the extraordinary tea, the farmer, fearing that others might steal his discovery, casually replied, “It’s nothing special, just tea grown in duck shit soil, and the aroma is like duck shit fragrance.” This offhand name, born out of a desire to keep the truth hidden, has since stuck and spread.
