About Zodiac Series
Since 2008, Chen Sheng Hao has pressed a pu-erh cake for each year of the Chinese zodiac, with the year's animal on the wrapper. The twelve signs (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig) repeat in a twelve-year cycle, so these cakes are a popular way to mark a birth year or the new year.
Zodiac raw pu-erh is made from large-leaf arbor leaf: a pale yellow liquor, a high, fresh aroma, a hint of bitterness that quickly turns to huigan, and a thick, long-lasting taste. Zodiac ripe pu-erh brews a bright wine red liquor with an aged aroma and a mellow, smooth taste.
