One of the most renowned varieties of Phoenix Dan Cong Oolong (鳳凰單樅), Lao Cong Wu Dong Duck Shit King (老樅烏岽鴨屎香) stands at the pinnacle of Dan Cong teas. Harvested from ancient, high-altitude tea trees on Wu Dong Mountain, this exceptional tea has earned its place as the highest quality Duck Shit Oolong, revered for its remarkable flavour, fragrance, and rarity.
The name "Duck Shit" (鴨屎香) might surprise newcomers, reminiscent of the exotic charm of "civet coffee," but rest assured—it has nothing to do with actual duck excrement! The tea's name traces back to a local legend: a tea farmer on Wu Dong Mountain grew this unique tea on soil resembling yellowish duck manure, known locally as "Duck Shit soil."
Wishing to guard the secret of this rare tea, he jokingly told neighbors the tea’s aroma was simply “Duck Shit.” The name stuck, contrasting sharply with the tea's elegant fragrance and rich character, making it unforgettable.
Lao Cong Wu Dong Duck Shit King boasts robust, tightly curled leaves with a deep, glossy brown hue. When brewed, it produces a bright, orange-yellow liquor with a floral aroma reminiscent of orchids and wildflowers.
This tea delivers a layered taste experience: a mellow honeyed sweetness, a delicate floral essence, and an enduring minerality from its mountain origins. Each sip lingers on the palate, leaving a gentle sweetness and distinct mountain charm (山韻) that only ancient tea trees can impart. Its resilience in multiple infusions makes it a highly valued treasure for oolong enthusiasts.
With its unique history, complex flavor, and limited harvest from ancient trees, Lao Cong Wu Dong Duck Shit King is a rare gem in the tea world. Prized for its smoothness, resilience, and unmistakable aroma, this tea offers both the charm of tradition and the intrigue of a legend—perfect for those seeking an unparalleled oolong experience.
