Sorry for outsourcing to another forum but I have found this educational.

For the full info, it is ball shaped tuo in bamboo leaf, very hard pressed.

Hope nobody will take it here as advertising , especially when in this case it is not good ad for us anyway ( although not our fault , the rest of tea I have at home is without any mold ..natural KM storage ).
I don't want to comment anything below that post because I don't like the way people interact to each other there ( or generally on Reddit ) , so I write it here.
The major issue with storage is the proper ventilation ( air around ). With increased humidity you have to also increase the air flow. There is no specific number / formula for that as it also depends on the leaf, how hard it's pressed and previously stored.
I can say only from my Czech ( EU ) friend experience who has a small wine fridge ( without cooling elements of course ) , opening only when want to drink tea ( every day or few times a day ) which keeps humidity average around 50% all over the year. And his cakes are safely ageing.

The whole idea is to have some air cushion around which will absorb the peaks and drops of humidity each time you open the seal. In my opinion, those Boveda packs don't have that air gap big enough for longer term storage ( especially if you are not opening it on daily / weekly basis but like few times a year ).
Of course that might vary from case to case, so please also share your experience and opinions.
