Might I recommend propylene glycol? This is used in cigar humidors, mixed with water 50/50 to maintain a 70% relative humidity. The solution is hygroscopic at humidity levels greater than 70%, and evaporative at humidity levels lower than 70%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-14077740762198066812008-07-29T20:21:00.000-07:002008-07-29T20:21:00.000-07:00Alternative solution: Move to Hong Kong!

Also, the habit of turning the AC off when at work and on when at home encourages the cakes to 'breath' more. Unfortunately in these parts, finding space to store the tea (or anything else) is not a trivial matter. I wonder what people living in other humid climates think...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-80942496278788053382008-04-10T19:34:00.000-07:002008-04-10T19:34:00.000-07:00Excellent post!

Like this, in a few years, you could do a comparison between your 2 storages and see how much added taste your work has produced. <BR/><BR/>I shall come back to check your blog again!TeaMastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433657904904185875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-87357999357175539932008-03-27T12:26:00.000-07:002008-03-27T12:26:00.000-07:00Now that is being resourceful!

Once some sort of humidity balance is struck between the air and the tea, however, the pu stops sucking everything out of the air and the humidity of the air increases.<BR/><BR/>Your pu is very lucky to have the benefit of such a professional looking graph! (as are your readers)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this nice post. There is not nearly enough sharing of ideas about this important topic. I think MarshalN and now you are the only bloggers who have really gotten into the nitty gritty of real life storage. One hopes your post will encourage more brave souls to share their storage stories. Keep us up to date as things evolve.Salserohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538918784870619787noreply@blogger.com
