Whole room humidifiers for storing puerh?

I'm new to the world of puerh and live in Maryland (east coast - US). I'd like to start building a collection of cakes that will be good in the upcoming decades.

Re: Water Water Everywhere... What’s Your Water?

I posted this in another forum, but looks like this group is a bit more active. I recently spent 6 weeks in Freidburg, Germany (old town) for work.
