Two Stars of Dancong
Duck Shit Aroma and Honey Orchid are the two most popular Dancong aromas, often compared. Both are fresh-type but with different personalities.
Aroma
- Honey Orchid: prominent honey note over an orchid base, sweet and recognizable
- Duck Shit (Silver Flower): elegant silver-flower scent with a milky hint and gardenia tone, noticeably cooling
Taste & Aftertaste
Honey Orchid is smooth and directly sweet; Duck Shit is more layered — fresh up front, honey in the middle, cooling at the finish. Both are low-bitterness; lower the water temperature for Duck Shit to highlight its elegance.
Price
At the same high-mountain grade, Duck Shit is usually pricier due to fame and demand. Beginners on a budget can start with Honey Orchid.
