What happens when you use Ping Keng Tou "King of Duck Shit" varietal Dan Cong tea leaves and then process them using dehydration to halt oxidation at a very early stage?  You get a super green, aromatic and sweet Dan Cong that will astound and impress!

Chou Shi (lit. dehydrate) is a new style of processing Dan Cong that shares some similarity to Anxi Tie Guan Yin. The tea is picked, and before it can wilt it is fried to start kill-green process in motion, the tea is then rolled briefly by hand and then put in a special dehydrator to stop the wilting process entirely. The result is a very green and very aromatic dan cong. The tea also has a very sweet taste, with some vegetal almost Tie Guan Yin like feeling.

New favorite

"I don't have much tea knowledge, but I have plenty of experience trying various kinds and this one still managed to stand out as one of the best, if not the best. If it weren't out of stock I'd be ordering a bunch more."

A pleasant surprise

"Delicate more like a high quality Tie Guan Yin with strong floral character and sweet."

— Tom C. (5/5)

Superlative

"I probably prefer "King of Duck Shit Aroma," which has a darker roast. But, Chou Shi is pretty class in enjoyability. It's quite green, but still has a very powerful well-rounded flavor. I'll definitely keep buying it."

— Miles K. (5/5)

it’s my bestie. bes-tea.

"Absolutely adore this tea. Super forgiving on the brew (I like it ~208°F) and has a lovely greenish flavor with a nice stiff backbone. My favorite go-to."

— Gus S. (5/5)

Delicious Tea

"This is one of my new favorites. It's like a high quality Tie Guan Yin in my opinion. Sweet, full flavored tea I could drink every day. I do hope larger quantities appear on the US site."

— Jeff (5/5)
