鳳凰單叢高山鴨屎香 Don’t let its name fool you! This Ya Sai, meaning duck poop, has this unusual fragrance of mellow but sweet honeysuckle, followed by a note of buttery almond cream. From the misty Phoenix Mountain of Guangdong, China.

Our Honeysuckle Ya Sai High Mountain comes from a single grove, grown and harvested 1000-1400 meters above sea level. This tea surpasses other Phoenix Oolongs with its unusual sweetness of honeysuckle and a hint of almond butter. In pursuit of that naturally sweet character, we had it custom-roasted for only 5 hours under low heat, bringing forth the essence of its beautiful fragrance and mellow profile. This light-roasted batch of Phoenix Honeysuckle Ya Sai High Mountain is only available at Teance.
