This sheng pu’er was produced in 2013 by TAETEA (Dayi) as part of its Chinese Zodiac series, released to mark the Year of the Snake. Zodiac cakes follow established factory blending practices, emphasizing balance and long-term aging rather than single-origin expression.

Cakes from this series are typically built for stability and broad storage conditions, with medium compression and blended material selected to mature evenly over time. The intent is continuity — a recognizable structure that evolves predictably rather than dramatically.

With more than a decade of aging, the tea has entered a calm and settled phase. The structure remains intact, with bitterness softened and sweetness returning in a measured, composed way that reflects careful factory design.

In 2025, as the zodiac cycle returns to the Year of the Snake, this cake takes on renewed significance. We’ve set aside a small quantity as a special offering for those born under the Snake sign — a way to mark the passage of time through tea, rather than through novelty.

Part of the Chinese Zodiac collection tea cakes made since 2008 year on year by the infamous TAETEA (Dayi) tea factory. Explore intricate depths of aged Pu'er with our Year of the Snake Taetea (Dayi) Sheng Pu'er. Harvested in the year of the snake and patiently matured for over the last 12 years, this tea offers a remarkable journey through taste and time. The initial dryness quickly gives way to a deep, resonant sweetness, mingling with the authentic aroma of old arbor trees. Subtle notes of steamed sticky rice and bamboo leaves (zong ye) are complemented by a developing vegetal quality through subsequent infusions. Persistently sweet with a hint of smoky rock sugar in the finish, this tea promises a complex and rewarding session for any tea aficionado.
