I just started a crock-like storage system a few weeks ago and have the humidity around 71%, 70F... but the lid is fairly well closed at the moment. Is that bad? I have about 2kg or more of tea in there right now. (pretty much all the puerh I own so far.)Microshrimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365426447754200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-39495136607014380892015-07-14T12:38:33.056-05:002015-07-14T12:38:33.056-05:00Thank you both for the information.

Although I haven't got any expensive teas I would hate seeing any of the teas going to waste over mold.<br /><br />RuiRuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127634129424242047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-22342475250983216072015-07-13T22:04:24.060-05:002015-07-13T22:04:24.060-05:00Hahha, that's awesome, I'm curious how it ...Hahha, that's awesome, I'm curious how it turns out!

Something is a little fishy (and it's not the pu) but I don't care because you've helped me out as a tea drinker immensely.<br /><br />I've been using your crock method in super-dry Texas and I'm achieving 74 percent humidity on a good day.<br /><br />If you're about to buy more buttons, you might check out Blimpies. They're cheaper and have more mass, which means more water absorption, which means less soaking in the long run. You can buy them at those head shops where derelicts buy devices for smoking marijuana.

And even when I've done this, backing off on the humidity For a few days returns the smell to normal. I've brushed mold off experimental tuos during push experiments and backed off and again the dry air returns the tea to its usual fragrance. Mold spores just don't survive long in the 60s humidity.

In the summer, I can open the door to expose to higher temps and humidity. Using a crock, on the other hand, I can get much higher humidity, over 70%. But you see it is very dry here much of the year.
