What Makes Ya Shi Xiang Special?

An Unusual Name · A Fragrant Tea

The Chinese name:

鸭屎香 · Ya Shi Xiang

has a famously unusual literal translation.

But:

The Name Does Not Describe the Tea’s Aroma or Taste

It does not mean the tea smells unpleasant.

It does not indicate duck or other animal ingredients.

Ya Shi Xiang is the established traditional name of this Phoenix Dan Cong style.

What matters in the cup is:

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Layered

For an English storefront, Ya Shi Xiang is therefore the clearest primary product name, with 鸭屎香 retained for authentic tea identification.

---

What Does It Taste Like?

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Layered

The long twisted leaves produce a liquor developing through:

Pale Gold → Gold → Golden Amber

Its overall character is:

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Layered · Lingering

with a medium body.

Bring the cup closer before drinking.

Notice the fragrance first.

Then sip.

Later infusions allow you to follow how aroma, body and finish gradually change.

Exact floral intensity, oxidation character, roast character and body naturally vary according to batch, water and brewing method.

---

Naturally Aromatic · No Added Flowers Established

The floral character describes the tea's aromatic direction.

The available product information does not establish:

Added Flowers

or:

Added Floral Flavoring

So this product is presented as:

Naturally Aromatic Phoenix Oolong

rather than floral-flavoured tea.

How to Brew

Everyday Cup

3–4 g Tea · 250 mL Water · 90–95°C / 194–203°F · 1–2 Minutes

Place the leaves in a roomy infuser or teapot.

Add hot water.

Begin gently and adjust according to taste.

Separate the finished tea from the leaves.

Keep the leaves nearby.

Then brew again.

Phoenix Dan Cong can become strong when over-steeped, so taste before significantly extending the brewing time.

Add · Pour · Steep · Return

---

Gongfu Style

5–7 g Tea · 100–120 mL Water · Approx. 95°C / 203°F · 10–15 Seconds

A porcelain gaiwan works particularly well.

Steep briefly.

Decant completely.

Return to the same leaves.

Gradually extend later infusions.

The first cup introduces the fragrance.

The next opens the leaves further.

Later infusions reveal changing balances of aroma, body and finish.

Short Steeps · High Aroma · Multiple Cups

Because this is a larger 250 g pouch, protecting the main supply matters.
