Dark Tea Storage

the aging category par excellence, for decades This guide says which dark to age and which to drink now.

Dark tea is post-fermented, which makes it the rare type where ageing well and going badly are separated by a fairly narrow margin.

dark wants stable room temperature and low to moderate (around 60-70% for raw pu-erh, drier for ripe). The exact environment, explained.

That takes one to three years in a clean, moderately humid environment, and it is a subtractive change rather than a transformation.

A practical home setup for dark: containers, location and the mistakes to skip.

Dark tea does not want to be especially cool, and it does not want to be especially dry.
