Whether you're looking to be a little quirky in your life, or you know someone that needs something new and original but still can't resist good tea, this duckshit oolong is just the thing for you. But we warn you - it might just tempt some of your more fashionable friends on a shopping spree with its funky name!
There's an often-told story behind the unappetizing name. They say a famous and successful tea farmer got so fed up with everyone asking about the secret to his masterpiece oolong that he started to make a joke, telling everyone that the secret to his tea was the duck droppings he used as fertilizer for his plants.
This oolong is baked using charcoal twice. The tea is first baked using an oven with a lower temperature (90c) for about 8 hours to remove the water content in the tea leaves. Rest for 3 weeks, and then baked using charcoal for 18 hours with 120c temperature. This tea will taste better when it has been aged for at least 4 to 6 months.
This is not your ordinary oolong tea. It's nutty and addicting like a toasted peanut. Its floral notes are just the perfect amount - you'll want to relax after drinking it, forget about all of life's problems! A rare gem in the world of teas - this duckshit oolong will surely become an instant favorite!

This makes my second time ordering this tea and as soon as I start running low I’ll order more again! This Duckshit is such an amazing tea and I enjoy finding an excuse to brew a good amount and share it with everyone who stops by the house. After their first sip I have yet to find anyone who didn’t want to drink tea with me until the leaves have been brewed clean! The thing that makes it so perfect is that no one who’s enjoyed it can find any fault with the taste and they don’t have any suggestions about doing anything that would alter it’s flavor balance. It’s definitely a “leave it exactly as it is” and a “don’t change a thing” kind of tea. If you don’t know how hard it is to find a tea that fits in that slot then I strongly suggest that you get a sample of every tea that Leo has on offer and discover this notion on your own. Save some for me because I’ll be wanting more!!
When I discovered you were stocking some Duckshit Oolong I couldn’t resist ordering a few ounces. I had a small sample gifted to me several years ago and it was hands down the best Oolong I’ve ever tasted so when I found your listing I was hoping the quality was equal to what I remembered. Shipping was right on time and the packaging was well done, which is always a good sign that proper care was taken. I’m thrilled to report that the tea is excellent and several steepings are possible before the flavor begins to fall off. Great customer service and fantastic tea! Thank you for a great buying experience!
Very tasty especially gongfu style. Many different flavors come out
The astonishing rich flavor must be why this tea was given such a memorable name. All fans of oolong teas: You really must try at least a sample.
Tasted like vanilla
