Dancong oolong tea · 4 oz (113 g)Soft florals · Creamy sweetness
Smooth, lingering finish
A gentle floral impression introduces the cup. Pause over the freshly brewed tea and notice the aroma before you sip: soft, expressive and an invitation to pay attention.
A rounded impression of sweetness gives the floral character a softer dimension. Notice how that sweetness feels alongside the floral notes as you sip.
The experience continues beyond the sip. Give the smooth finish a moment to settle before returning to your cup, and notice what remains as the floral impression gently lingers.
Notice the leaves before the water. The aroma as you pour. The warmth of the glass in your hands.
Ya Shi Xiang turns a familiar routine into something worth paying attention to. Brew, taste and find the pace that feels like yours.
Start here, then adjust the leaf, water and time until the cup feels right for you.
Give the leaves room to open in an infuser or teapot. Add hot water, steep for 2 minutes and strain fully into your cup. Taste before adjusting the next brew.
Combine the leaves and cold drinking water in a clean, covered vessel. Refrigerate for 6–8 hours, then strain out the leaves. Serve chilled, adding ice to suit your preference.
Try a little more leaf before extending the steep substantially. Taste as you go so the floral notes remain part of the experience.
Use a little less leaf or shorten the steep. A small adjustment can make the next cup feel more balanced for you.
After straining, try brewing the leaves again. Taste each infusion and adjust the time as the aroma and character change.
Before the next meeting. After the last page. A small ritual, with enough room to enjoy it.

Ya Shi Xiang is traditionally translated as “Duck Shit Aroma.” It is an unconventional name for a fragrant style of Dancong oolong. Let the cup introduce itself.
It is tasting language for a rounded impression of sweetness and a softer character in the cup. These notes describe the drinking experience; check the product label for ingredient information.
Try the tea on its own first. Notice the aroma, take a small sip when it is comfortable to drink, then pause to explore the finish. You can adjust your next brew from there.
