Love tea? "Duck dung smell"

Names like cat excrement coffee and excrement coffee not only appear in the coffee industry, but also in the tea industry.

Among them, there is a kind of tea called "Duck Dunxiang", which has won great public attention by its name. What kind of tea is duck excrement incense? Is it "smelly" or "fragrant"

Let's talk about the misunderstanding caused by the name of tea:

Many entry-level tea lovers often mistake the words "Dahongpao" for black tea when drinking tea, but in fact Dahongpao belongs to oolong tea; Although the name of Anji white tea has the word "white", it is really green tea, because the classification of tea is calculated according to the processing technology. Then why is it called white tea? Due to the low temperature in spring, the tea bud leaves of Anji white tea have changed, and the leaf color is extremely light, close to white. This kind of tea is produced in Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Also, Junshan silver needle is yellow tea, not white tea. White needle is white tea, but don't mistake "silver" for white tea. Junshan silver needle belongs to yellow tea by craft, but it is called Junshan silver needle because it is covered with white hair …

Let's talk about duck excrement in Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province.

Duck excrement is only the local name of tea, which is different from duck excrement. Although the name of Duck Dunxiang is indecent, as a famous species of Phoenix Dan Cong, it can be said that "vulgarity is elegance". Although the word duck excrement is indecent, this tea is a rare good tea, which is not worthy of the name. Such good tea is worth drinking.

Duck excrement incense is a famous species of Phoenix Dan Cong, belonging to oolong tea. Its quality is characterized by its thick and tight dry tea strips, dark brown and shiny. Although it is famous for the smell of duck dung, the soup after brewing is orange and bright, with strong aroma. Aroma is like flowers and orchids, and it also has a high Shan Ye rhyme and a baking smell.

After entering the throat, it is soft and sweet, with a mellow and rich taste, a little bitter, but with a strong sweetness and a unique and long mountain rhyme.

Phoenix Dan Cong is the main representative of Guangdong oolong tea among the four oolong teas. Location: Fenghuang Mountain, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. Phoenix Mountain has a warm and humid climate, abundant rainfall, fertile land and humid air. The annual average temperature is about 20℃, which is rich in organic matter and various trace elements, which is very beneficial to the development of tea trees and the formation of tea polyphenols and aromatic substances. This is also the main reason for its "mountain rhyme". Let's go

The main feature of oolong tea is its aroma, and Phoenix Dan Cong is no exception. According to the fragrance types, it can be divided into ten fragrance types: Michelia, Gardenia, Osmanthus fragrans, Magnolia, Cinnamon, Almond, Pomelo, Cordate telosma and Ginger. The most unique one is "duck excrement fragrance".

After the first soaking, you can smell a strange flower fragrance coming out of the cup. After making tea, the smell of duck excrement is still "duck excrement fragrance", that is, it can withstand soaking and soaking. No wonder it is praised by Chaoshan people as "the strongest and most lasting tea".

Many people are curious, why should such a fragrant tea have such an indecent name? There are many versions about the origin of "duck stew".

According to records, this clump was introduced from Wuqi and planted in the tea garden of "duck excrement soil" (yellow soil). The tea leaves are dark blue and the leaves are as long as Mu Gang's (scientific name). After drinking this kind of tea, the local people greatly praised it, praising it for its good aroma and strong charm, and asked what its name was and what its fragrance was. Tea farmers were afraid of being stolen and lied that it was duck excrement.

It is also said that in ancient times, a tea farmer went up the mountain to pick tea on the Phoenix Mountain in the east of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and accidentally found a black tea tree. After picking it and making it into dry tea, it is found that the tea tastes strong and good. Ever since, I went back to the tea tree to find out, and found that the tea was dark green, under the tea tree; There are a few piles of duck excrement sporadically, so the tea tree is named "Duck excrement fragrance".

Because of the indecent name of the tea, it was renamed "Yinhuaxiang". Because its fragrance is similar to honeysuckle, people think that its name is not in line with its tea and fragrance, and its name is too tacky and unsightly. After discussion and tasting, it was considered that its fragrance was similar to that of wild honeysuckle on Phoenix Mountain, and it was decided to officially change the name of "Duck Manure Fragrance" to "Yinhuaxiang Fragrance", but for many tea lovers, it seems that they are more keen on the name of "Duck Manure Fragrance".

Brewing method of duck excrement fragrant tea

1. Brewing water: Natural mineral water is the best, followed by purified water and tap water.

2. Tea consumption: about 7- 10g.

3. Tea set: cover a bowl or teapot. Choose according to personal habits.

4, water temperature: 95- 100 degrees, continuous boiling water, even in the state of heat preservation.

5, soup time: the first bubble is warm, which is the so-called tea washing. Pay attention to washing tea, and be quick. Too much material for more than 3 seconds is wasted. After the second soaking, it should be controlled within 3-20 seconds, and the appropriate tea flavor should be carefully considered.

Although the name "duck dung incense" is indecent, it is only an example of extreme opposition of this thing. Surprisingly delicious, and then use interesting stories to become an instant hit. Many people drink Dan Cong and are conquered by its rich aroma and sweetness.

This year, the tea industry catered to the tastes of young people and launched a series of iced teas under the name of "duck excrement fragrance": duck excrement fragrance lemon tea, duck excrement fragrance cream milk tea, mustard duck excrement fragrance tea ... which was also sought after by hipsters and once became an online celebrity.

For the old tea people, we still love the local traditional duck excrement fragrant kungfu tea, but we also like to see the promotion of trendy tea, hoping that the tea culture can develop richer and have a longer history.
