One question that is pondering me about keeping the Pu-erh left on shelf like this is...

How do you guys cater for dust? At my house, if I do not clean my room for 3 weeks, I could already see a small layer of dust. The longer the thicker the dust going to be.

So if you were planning to keep those for long long term, how do you avoid the dust issue?

That's what the 'rinse' is for....?? :D

Heh, good question... my pu'erh is all in an enclosed cabinet, so is probably mostly protected from dust. Also, the wrappers protect very well. I do have some samples open on the shelves... those might get a little dusty (but see my first comment, hehe!)

Anybody else...? (:

Thanks everyone!

Nick- Haha, I would love to meet up sometime for some tea, If your ever in the area give me a holler. :D

Drax- Yes TB Focus is a great company to deal with, I am very impressed. I will be putting in another order shortly.

auhckw- Since this is a closet, dust isn't too big of an issue, I actually have yet to see any. I assume I am in there messing around so often that it never really can settle. And if it does, no worries dust in no enemy to puerh to my knowledge. Just keep the wrappers on!

Fourth infusion, three years of (natural) storage in my puerh cabinet. 2005 harvest, Menghai region. Not bad if I do say so myself.
