MINI: Duck Shit Oolong (10g)

What's in a name? Despite what springs to mind, our Duck Shit Oolong tastes of sweet potato, hops, and longan, with an aroma that leans fruity and floral. So why the…evocative name? Legend has it the tea grower who developed this dancong cultivar loved his creation so much that he dressed up his treasure with a stinking misnomer to throw off potential copycats. Take a sip and you'll know the name is a real load of 🦆💩

Feels like: Ever come across a box of old tapes on the curb? And your favorite throwback track just happens to be sitting pretty right on top? So you dust it off, bring it home, and drop it in your cassette player. Hit play and it crackles back to life, all smooth, sweet, and easy — with just the right dusting of nostalgic funk. Nice.

• 12+ mug servings (2.5g/mug, steeped 3+ times)
