about black Pu-erh

In your first posting on Pu-erh you say,"Ways like cave storage ar

types of wet storage". I always thaought that cave storage was th proper and traditional way to store Pu-erh. Some vendors here in th USA are using this method. Is cave storage always wet storage?

Cave storage is considered a bad practice in China. Nobody in China will buy from you if your pu-erh is cave stored. By storing Pu-erh in caves, the moisture will get into Pu-erh, and the lack of air flow will trap the moisture inside Pu-erh and therefore create the effect of wet storage. People value dry and old storage (干仓，老仓）, not cave.
