The Xiaguan Zodiac Series (下关沱茶生肖系列 - Xiàguān Tuóchá Shēngxiào Xìliè) is collectible, gift-worthy series of raw pu er produced every year. They are often purchased for gifting, commemorating a birth year (本命年 - běnmìng nián), or as a speculative investment.

Formats: cake (饼 - bǐng), brick tea (砖茶 - zhuānchá), and "bowl" shape (沱茶 - tuóchá).

Production Dates: each tea was produced (i.e. pressed and packaged) one year before that of the Zodiac sign that it celebrates. Example: the Year of the Snake tea was produced in 2012 (the Year of the Dragon).

Storage: super dry storage in Richmond, British Columbia, since 2014.

Leaves: premium, chunkier leaves vs. most of Xiaguan's regular lines.

COLLECTION SETS:

Having acquired Mr. Zhang's collection of Xiaguan tuo cha, we have the unique opportunity to offer some full, unopened boxes in all three formats! The price is also extremely attractive.
