Pumidors are Really Great.  You need one.

Maybe not this big, but you need one to keep your tea fresh and healthy especially if you live in a drier climate or a climate that gets seasonally dry.  

I made this one from an old IKEA cabinet.  While I didn't document it all, here's basically what I did and you can do it too!

1. Get a cabinet you like

2. Use weather striping all around the doors

3. Seal the seams inside with silicone.  Let dry completely.

4. Cover the entire inside with a vapor barrier.  Get it at your home improvement store.

5.  Drill some holes in the shelves using a hole saw - a drill bit for cutting holes.

6.  Get an electronic humidifier.  I got mine HERE.  The second one down.  

7.  Put the gauge outside so you can monitor it at any time.  Mine stays steady around 70%.
