Crafted by the Huang Family

- Wudong ShanGuangdong Province
- ELEVATION600 METERS
- Ya ShiTea Varietal
Ya Shi is infamous for its name - which translates to "Duck Droppings." The story is that this varietal was so delicious and so scarce that the locals wanted to think of a name that would stop anyone from trying the tea to keep the secret for themselves. Naming aside, the Huang Family's Ya Shi Dancong is picked once a year from well-situated mature stock in the famous Wudong Shan region, and brews with a startlingly consistent ginseng-dominant focus and intense sweetness.
