Duck Shit Fragrance Phoenix Dancong Tea – Old Tree

Originating from Pingkeng Village in Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou, located at an altitude over 1,000 meters, this tea garden is shrouded in clouds year-round, with significant day-night temperature variations. This environment nurtures the “perfume of teas” known as Duck Shit Fragrance Dancong. Harvested from tea trees over 50 years old and refined through traditional charcoal roasting techniques, this tea perfectly embodies an elegant orchid-like fragrance.
Unique Processing Technique: Using traditional charcoal roasting, master craftsmen carefully control the fire to preserve the tea’s original essence while fully developing its aroma. High-altitude tea trees grow slowly, resulting in higher polyphenol, amino acid, and total sugar content compared to low-altitude teas, creating its distinctive mellow flavor.

Each steep brings a different layer of fragrance, creating an endless source of enjoyment. The entire room fills with this unique, elegant scent, offering a deeply satisfying sensory experience.
