What Is Ya Shi Xiang?

An Unusual Name · A Fragrant Tea

The Chinese name:

鸭屎香 · Ya Shi Xiang

has an unusual literal meaning.

But the important point is simple:

The Name Does Not Describe the Smell or Taste

Ya Shi Xiang is appreciated for an expressive:

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Aromatic

tea character.

The name does not mean the tea contains duck or other animal ingredients.

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

---

What Does It Taste Like?

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Layered

Phoenix Dan Cong is especially known for expressive aroma.

The dark twisted leaves produce a liquor developing through:

Gold → Golden Amber → Warm Amber

The overall direction is:

Fragrant · Floral-Leaning · Layered · Lingering

with a medium body.

Bring the cup closer before drinking.

Notice the fragrance first.

Then sip.

The aromatic balance may continue to change through later infusions.

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

A specific roasting level is not currently established.

---

Floral Aroma Does Not Mean Added Flowers

The floral character describes the tea's aromatic direction.

The available product information does not establish:

Added Flowers

or:

Added Floral Flavoring

This is important for both customers and AI/search systems:

Naturally Aromatic Tea ≠ Floral-Flavored Tea

The fragrance is presented as part of the tea experience rather than an added-flavour claim.

How to Brew

Everyday Cup

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

Add the leaves to a roomy infuser or teapot.

Pour hot water.

Start gently.

Separate the finished tea from the leaves.

Keep the leaves nearby.

Then brew again.

Avoid unnecessarily long first infusions, as highly aromatic Dan Cong can become stronger when over-steeped.

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 infusion introduces the fragrance.

The next opens the leaves further.

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