I know that even though you can't see it, all puerh has mold spores on and in them. From what Ive read you can get away with elevated humidity levels as long as there is plenty of fresh air to dry off the cakes surface. I subscribe to the theory that faster is not better, wetter is not better. But you already know about my aversions to wet stored teas. Be carefull, I dont want to read about your collection going into the waste bin, Ive seen this happen too many times already. Please dont be the next casualty.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-16689058891976164622010-02-27T15:39:52.811-08:002010-02-27T15:39:52.811-08:00Luckily it was only one cake, though now I'm a...Luckily it was only one cake, though now I'm a little more cautious about the humidity that I try to keep my cakes at. I wonder what exactly that blue mold is though...is it the good kind or bad kind? I know yellow mold is bad, white mold is "good" but what about blue mold?Maitre_Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09949659223396025930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901557768510499317.post-10807761047638944142010-02-27T14:35:16.496-08:002010-02-27T14:35:16.496-08:00Hmmm, now I know Ive heard this story somewhere be...Hmmm, now I know Ive heard this story somewhere before. I know! It was Tuocha who's entire collection was ruined by trying to speed up the aging process. For goodness sakes do whatever you gotta do to dry em out a bit, blue mold turns into nasty yellowy mold if left unchecked. Keeping my fingers crossed.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328523694226680438noreply@blogger.com
