In Shantou, a coastal city in south China's Guangdong Province, there is a workshop renowned for producing Ya Shi Xiang, also known as "Duck Poop Tea," which is prized for its nutty and silky characteristics. Oolong tea leaves are baked over hot ashes, resulting in a rich, smoky aroma. The Kung Fu tea ceremony, which emphasizes disciplined and skillful brewing, reflects the traditional Chaoshan aesthetic of using porcelain cups and teapots.
