I did start airing this out at home in my cupboard to see if I could get the weird odor to dissipate. From what I have read it isn’t a good idea to store pu-erh in plastic anyway. It does seem better than it did when I first tried it – I am upped the score a teeny bit today. This is not a world class pu-erh but it was very affordable and benefited greatly by a hot water rinse and short steeping times. I will probably finish the cake someday but will not be in a big hurry to do so. I think it needs more time to air out, frankly.
Mediocre pu-erh is just so sad…

Ceramic is probably a good way to store it…….even better bamboo or Yixing containers.
Maybe you can trade it away…
I wonder what Iced pu-erh is like. Oh I’m not sure I wanna know!
Scott – I just keep mine in the original paper wrapper/box or in a opened ziploc so at least it can get some air
IB – I’m keeping it! Maybe it will be a lot better in a few years. :)
