Re: What is your Spring Brew?

I chose the 3 greens because those are what I always make sure to buy ultra-fresh each year, but I also love aged sheng in the spring. For some reason, they seem the most awake and the weather is still mild enough to enjoy the warming nature of them. The last 2 days have been in the 50s-low 60s Fahr...

Re: Moldy Pu'erh!!!

The RH is too high. Those temperatures dip way to low, and sudden fluctuations are no good. I try to keep mine at a solid 70F 65RH in the winter (anything less is, in my opinion, a high risk for mold). I've only just started tracking RH since I had a mold issue recently (same deal... shou pumidor th...
