Begin an extraordinary journey in tea tasting with our unique 2012 & 2024 Zodiac Dragon Raw Pu-erh Tea Samples. This exclusive set offers a special chance to experience two exceptional years represented by the powerful symbol of the Dragon.
Chinese zodiac culture is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture, rooted in the lunar calendar and astrological beliefs. The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animal signs, with each animal representing a year in a twelve-year cycle. The twelve animals are the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. In Chinese culture, the Dragon is considered a symbol of luck, prosperity, authority, nobility, confidence, charisma, ambition, determination, innovation, versatility, strength, and courage. These characteristics make the dragon an auspicious symbol.
Tea culture and zodiac culture are both brilliant aspects of traditional culture. Zodiac tea combines these two cultures, creating a union as harmonious as pearls joined with jade, reviving traditional culture with new vitality. It responds to the call of the times to rejuvenate traditional culture, holding great value for collection and commemoration.
Dry Leaves
2024: Fresh and vibrant aroma, with scents of floral or fruity notes. The colour exhibits more vibrant shades of green, reflecting the fresh and young nature of the tea.
2012: The dry leaves have a more mature, aged aroma, with woody, fruity and sometimes herbal medicine notes. The colour is darker, with brownish tones.
Aroma
2024: The aroma of this younger sheng is fresh and more vibrant, with a focus on green, grassy notes.
2012: The aroma of this aged sheng is more nuanced, with a mix of aged, fruity and floral aromas.
Colour of Tea Liquor
2024: Light and bright yellow.
2012: The colour has deepened to orange-yellow or orange-red.
Taste & Mouthfeel
2024: The taste of this young sheng is bright and fresh, with a hint of bitterness that quickly turns sweet. It exhibits grassy or green notes, with a higher bitterness or astringency that hasn't mellowed out yet.
2012: The taste has evolved, becoming smoother, mellower and thicker. Aged, woody and fruity notes are present, with a subtle sweetness and a more rounded, mellow profile.
Infused Leaves
2024: Retain more of their original bright green color. The leaves are plumper and more elastic, with a fresher appearance. They are more intact, with clear leaf veins and edges.
2012: Display a darker, more subdued color, ranging from olive green to brownish hues. The leaves appear a bit more broken down and softened due to the aging process. They are slightly more fragile and delicate when compared to the younger leaves.
