Hi,

to pu-erh lovers/collectors I have a question

How do you store your pu-erh ?
Where ?
I live in a block of flats, so I'm somehow limited in getting the right
place to store my tea...

thanks

Tomas

I have seen, and/or use myself, several methods that lend themselves to
Flats or Apartments. Natrual Reed clothes hampers, wooden file
cabinets, wooden chests similar to a foot locker, and I use a wooden
bread box for smaller amounts. Be cautious of any inherent odors in
your storage container, and it should NOT be airtight.

The oxidation process requires oxygen so you want adequete air flow but
not a breeze. In other words don't seal it up in a plastic bag. It is
absolutely imperative to keep the storage space free from odors. A
shelf in a nice dry, odor free, closet will do nicely. Don't keep it in
the same room as the cat litter box, or in your Living Room if you
smoke a lot of cigars etc.

How much puerh are planning on storing? If you are space challenged you
probably dont want to store too much.
