The part that isn't being fleshed out is how moisture content level, the relative humidity, is a big factor in when mold will grow. If the teas were being held at 80% RH they probably would mold; conventional wisdom is that 70% makes for an upper limit, but they typically won't at that level. Shift...

I like the cake too but for a different reason. It it the sweetest puerh tea I've ever tasted. More so than any other Yiwu teas from Wistaria or YQH. However, it has the most smoke in all my puerh cakes. I can still smell and taste the smoke at my last (9th) infusion. The Qi was not that strong for...

As a big fan of both Bulang teas and Malaysian storage, I've been drooling over that cake for quite some time... 6hrs later, and I'm still vibrating from this one.

Any resources to learn about fake Puerh? I have been interested in learning more for the last year or two. So far the online contents are more about fake aged tea that can sell for $$$$, but not much about counterfeit teas within the last 10-20 years. Thanks :) not that I am aware of... not many wi...

Balthazar Thank you for sharing! What a great and simple idea! Before seeing your post, I have always thought a pumidor is too complicated to do. I am going to buy some Boveda packs, hygrometers and airtight containers. Anyone know what is the best ideal humidity to store puer teas? My tea friend t...

Finally getting teas from Emmett (Yang Qing Hao). Shipping was fast to California and only took 7 days for direct shipment from Taiwan using just EMS. First up...the 2006 Chawangshu. It's a Yiwu tea. At 85 cents per gram, is it better than the cheaper 2003 Wistaria ZiPin also from Yiwu? For me...no...

You guys/gals are freaking me out. First I have to worry about pesticides in my teas. Now I have to worry about lead in my pottery.

I wonder if there is a coffee forum like Teaforum. I also wonder if they worry about pesticides and lead.

I was in Egypt this past January before the pandemic. People in Egypt don't drink directly from their tap water. They put all of their water (tap, well, stream, etc) in clay pots overnight before drinking. This occurred in Cairo as well as all over the countryside. The owner at the Airbnb place I st...

After 3 month of waiting, my teas from Essence of Teas have finally arrived. The 2001 Mengsa Old Tree was a fantastic tea! It was very sweet. I could not taste or smell any smoke. It also had good stamina. I was able to get 10 steeps. But the best thing about this tea was the euphoria. I was giggli...
