Photos: 3+ tons of PU
I would like to share some of the photos from private collector (investor) I know of here. He has over 3+ tons of Pu mainly on Dayi and some XiaGuan.

Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
We in Malaysia as per what people claimed have a good natural climate for Pu storage. No need any special monitoring system.
He has even got a catalog to show what he has.
Some of the samples. He has about 300+ different types

Ah! I think I know this ID, if it's the same person. I read quite a few his online forum posts before. I could tell he had a lot of tea, but didn't realize he had this much! 
He is just a collector, not a seller?

The guy you mentioned is not the guy that own the PU. He took the photos at the collector's place and upload. They are both friendly ppl. Met them few times in teashops.gingkoseto wrote:Ah!

At the moment the collector is collecting, not selling yet. He is a wealthy guy keeping this for the future. If you see the guy in person, you would never believe his wealth. Very humble and soft spoken. Doesn't wear expensive, drives a lorry around.

Maybe someday we all start buying puerh from Malaysia 
Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
Wow, now that's buying in bulk!
Does he store all of that tea in his place? Or does he have to rent out warehouse space for it?

These are the people who usually get great bargains that we small timers tag along to get good rates
Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
Helps me to understand when I'm reading a story and there's a warehouse fire and everybody is freaking out. From now on, I'll just be thinking, "Everybody's tea might be in there...!!"tingjunkie wrote:Damn. One fire, hurricane, or flash flood, and *POOF*
Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
nice, planning for the future I see
bugs too! what if the bugs get them! I imagine it would be hard to inspect all those boxes periodically, but I guess you could just hire a few people to do that

Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
I can imagine Chan Kam Pong being nervous that the fluorescent light is too close to the pu on the top shelf.
Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
Agree. That's really too close. Obviously, I would not let those bowl tea expose to the fluorescent light in that way. At least, these bowl tea should be put in another cardboard box with some holes for aging. That is good enough.Evan Draper wrote:I can imagine Chan Kam Pong being nervous that the fluorescent light is too close to the pu on the top shelf.
Keeping Puerh in a dark environment is actually one of the keys to age.

I met the 3 tons guy today and he said the lights are on to take the photos. He rarely on that light unless necessary.

Re: Photos: 3+ tons of PU
I like the name 3-ton-guy. Let's see when he gains more weight
I guess the light is only very rarely on when somebody is in the room handling things. But the room does seem quite bright for a tea storage room. Or maybe your friend's camera is too good at light balance?

I was thinking the same thing...gingkoseto wrote:I like the name 3-ton-guy.
Can you imagine? "Did you hear? the 3-tons guy is now 4-tons." "OMG!"
I'm sure with the light off, the tea is fine. Of course, with that much tea, I would probably be looking at it so much that the light would not be fine, hehe...
