How the name “Duck Shit” Oolong came from?

The name “Duck Shit Oolong” (in Mandarin, “Ya Shi Xiang”) has an interesting and somewhat humorous origin. It’s important to note that the name is not a reflection of the tea’s taste or quality; rather, it is a playful and creative name that adds intrigue to this particular oolong tea.

The story behind the name goes like this: In the local dialect of the Phoenix Mountain region in Guangdong, where this tea is produced, tea farmers wanted to keep the exceptional quality of their tea a well-guarded secret. To discourage others from stealing their tea plants or imitating their cultivation methods, they decided to give their tea a name that would deter curiosity.

The name “Duck Shit Oolong” was chosen because it was thought to be so unappealing and unattractive that nobody would want to inquire further or attempt to replicate their tea. This clever tactic was a way to protect the unique tea plants and maintain the exclusivity of their tea production.

Ironically, despite the unappealing name, Duck Shit Oolong is highly regarded for its exceptional flavor and quality. Over time, it has gained recognition and popularity among tea enthusiasts worldwide, proving that a name alone can’t overshadow the excellence of the tea itself.
