Duckshit Oolong, also known as Ya Shi Xiang (鸭屎香), is a fragrant style of Phoenix Dancong oolong from Chaozhou, Guangdong. Despite its unusual name, it's loved for its floral aroma and lingering sweetness.

This tea comes from approximately 80-year-old bushes. Its medium roast adds a gentle toasted-nut character without hiding the fragrance or natural sweetness. Look for orchid-like floral notes, hints of vanilla, toasted peanuts, and almonds. It's a welcoming choice for someone trying Duckshit Oolong for the first time, but there's plenty to enjoy even if you've tasted many different versions.

As for the name, one popular story says a farmer jokingly called his prized tea “duckshit” to keep others from discovering what made it special. It's a bit of tea folklore that has stuck around.

A Note from Leo

Updated October 2026

Over the past two years, I've brought in and tasted a lot of different Duckshit Oolongs. This year, I decided to narrow our selection down to just two, and this one was an easy choice. It's been our most popular Duckshit Oolong, and I think this new batch is better than what we've had over the past couple of years.

What I enjoy most is the medium roast. I can really appreciate the fragrance without losing that nice, sweet flavor. It's a great tea for someone trying Duckshit Oolong for the first time, but also for anyone who's already explored lots of different versions. To me, it's simply a chill, easygoing tea to sit back and enjoy.

You’ll never look at ducks the same way again!

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!

Try it for the Name, Stay for the Flavor

This tea was so much fun to drink with my visiting family. They were all curious about the name and origin of this tea. Very complex flavor that changed with each steep. Love it!

I really wanted to try this tea after reading about it , curiosity purchase

This was a very good tea, superb quality. I thought it fit the description Leo wrote exactly, so I am not going to try to describe it myself . I was simply curious and wanted to give it a try and I’m glad I did. I ordered one ounce which brews many days tea for me. I would recommend it if the description appeals to you.

You’ll never look at the back end of a duck the same way!

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!!

Duckshit Oolong. Amazing. Nothing else like it.

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.

Duck Shit is Good Shit

I've been using the 80 year old Duck Shit and it's tasty. However, this Ancient Duck Shit is even better (if that is possible). Recommended to try if you can get past the name. :-)

Duck Shit is great!

Don't be fooled by the name, but this is a beautiful mellow tea.

A great oolong

This tea has an intoxicating aroma of butter and warm nuts. Slick coating mouthfeel with favors of nuts during early infusions turning more floral in latter. Great tea and example of the cultivar. I will be back for more.

I think mine was 40 year old duck tea

Is great, expands in the pot while brewing. Flavor is firm but not bitter . Great colors for multiple infusions. Always a great choice

Tastes Great!

This Oolong was definitely worth the purchase and I would definitely buy it again.

Easy and Mild

Personally I enjoy a more robust and stronger flavor tea. However not all of my friends or guest enjoy such strong teas. This one is a nice way for me to entertain company without overpowering their taste buds right away. As far me if I am wanting something stronger I just let my pour steep a little longer.
The flavor is smooth with a lingering finish that lightly trails off.

Best tea

This is so awesome. I've brewed it at multiple temps in different pots and it has consistently tasted good. I've also cold brewed it and it was great to drink cool first thing in the morning. It's also forgiving water wise, I didn't use anything fancy and I could still enjoy complex flavors in this tea.

Great tea!

Really great flavor, clean and crisp and a hint of sweetness, one of my favorite teas.

A new favorite

I have had Duckshit before. It's a very relaxing oolong. This 80-year old bush Duckshit is amazing. It's my new favorite. Relaxing and enjoyable. So happy I bought it when I did.

So good!!

Super smooth taste and calming effect. It’s so good and smells amazing! I can drink it all day!

It's the shit

The name may be unappetizing, but the taste... I could go on about how it's a little roasted and has hazelnut sweetness and nuttiness and a full body, but taste is subjective. When I drink this, I feel like I'm relaxing at home by a big picture window, drinking more tea, looking out over some marshland, watching the ducks in the water among the reeds. So relaxing!
