Then by your definition, I know NO places in China, I've seen, that
have a true freezer to store tea. I would guess most of the places
around in Guangdong use refrigerators. I've even seen open faced
fridge units used for storing drinks in a supermarket used for storing
cold drinks. Also, I've seen smaller units used for storing ice
cream. This was in Fangcun, mind you; not some local slop-shop.

Exactly why I wrote "There seems to be some confusion in some other
mails to this thread
about the difference between refrigerators (fridges) and freezers".
Though when I worked in remote tea growing areas in China in the mid
80s I never saw even a refrigerator.
