when did /tea/ become such sissy's? if you're all really that afraid then I sure hope none of you drink any wet stored or wet piled tea (spoiler alert it has mold and mycotoxins!). I know a bunch of you love your liu bao or drink stuff from yeeontea, don't pretend like that stuff is not full of it. and lets not even get started on the potential pesticide, pollution, and heavy metal contamination...

I not saying you should not be careful (I try to be) but i am just a bit shocked at the response and find it strange seeing people freak out while at the same time doing stuff i see as being just as risky.

>the spores are everywhere.
spores are everywhere anyways. tea is not sanitary. i just wanted to keep my tea separate out of an abundance of caution and wanted to hear other anons experiences with moldy tea.

>Well what kind of mold?
its several patches of dried out white mold on the surface. you cant reliably tell the safety of mold by its color anyways. even amoung the same group of mold it may or may not be expressing mycotoxins.
>obviously just got some water spilled in it
as i had said in the original post it looks like it had gotten slightly wet in one corner. the ink on the wrapper showed the wet spot but the tea did not obviously look like it had gotten wet besides the fact there was mold there. it clearly hadn't gotten soaked or anything.

I removed the moldy area and what i tried drinking from the clean part of the cake tastes fine. it tastes far less moldy and dank than any of the stuff i have that came out of a Hong Kong tea dungeon.
