Origin: Dan Cong from Phoenix mountain, Guangdong province, China
Tasting Notes: Vanilla bean, honeysuckle, sweet corn
Harvest season: Spring 2021

Phoenix Dan Cong Yin Hua Xiang is known as duck shit aroma dan cong. Yin Hua Xiang means honeysuckle aroma. It has the name because this Dan Cong carries a sweet and smooth aroma of the honeysuckle flowers. It is also known as Duck Shit aroma. The farmer was so afraid others would steal this beautiful tea from him so he called this tea Duck Shit aroma, telling people that the soil that grew this tea looked like the color of duck waste. He was hoping the story would scare people away and yet it did not stop this tea from becoming more popular.

Dan Cong is always well known for the aroma, but a good one should be more complex than just the fragrance. What we love about this Dan Cong is the balance of this tea; the fragrance does not overpower the character of the tea. We enjoy the gentle floral along with a hint of sweet milky note. Enjoy the aroma spread in the mouth. When you finish drinking the tea, smell inside the empty cup and enjoy the sweetness that stays in the cup as well.
