"Ya Shi" means "Duck Shit" and refers to a Dancong or twisted-style oolong cleverly named by the original farmer to help protect it from being replicated by prying neighbors. We've named this one "Ya Shi Cream" because this version produced by tea master Song Lin in Wudong Village, Chaozhou, offers an especially velvety experience. This texture combined with its prominent orchid and almond notes make for a well-balanced tea. Rinse prior to steeping, and steep for multiple infusions.
