The history of storing pu'erh.
Pu'erh storage terminology.
Storing pu'erh in the US or Europe.

Pu'erh is a tea grown in Yunnan for export to Hong Kong and other parts of southern China and southeast Asia. Here it was stored by vendors for consumption. For many decades, this was done in a process that is referred to as traditional storage. But at some point this changed and people began to store pu'erh in different climates with different methods.

There are a few common pu'erh terms typically used to describe storage (12:57). I also explore a few of the major challenges in storing pu'erh in an inherently different, colder, and drier climate.
