Probably right. Wet-stored rooibos.

I break up my puerh cakes and bricks up all at once and put them into canisters. I am a shu drinker and typically finish off a cake in around a month.

Every time I catch sight of this thread, I keep thinking it refers to clumsiness with tea wares.

Can you tell I'm not a pu-head - or that I broke the lid of my kyuusu the other week?

I tend to go with 2.

Is there any reason not to break up a cake all at once, even though it may take several months or more to drink it?
Your second option is the way that I prefer for my personal tea.

Good tea drinking,

That sounds like a REALLY cool idea!

How about this:

1. We schedule a day/time in the near future to have a video conference to evaluate a particular variety.
2. I ship everyone a sample of tea (most-likely sheng or shu pu)
3. We brew/drink together (virtually at a table) and evaluate all together!

Well, I think it's an interesting idea. Now let's ee if anyone agrees or if it works out as planned. This could be the new way to do the boxes.
