 Ya Shi King of Duck Shit is what it said on the packet Jade sent me. Ya Shi Xiang Dan Cong is a rare oolong varietal grown in the Phoenix Mountains outside Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. (I looked it up.) The soil in the area has a yellowish brown color that's unique to the area and villagers spread the untrue rumor that it was due to duck shit, to discourage outsiders from stealing their tea bushes. 

5g/100ml water @ 190-205 F, 20-30 seconds, +10-15 seconds per steep. 

Jade says it's one of her favorites and I can taste why. Delicate yellow in the cup with floral, lemony notes, it got better on the second and third steeps. A lovely sipping tea.
