Especialy with florals.
I’ve only ever seen the white flakes on three F&T blends; Santo Domingo, Princes & Princes Special. I believe it is a moisture issue with the aluminum canisters. I transfer these particular varieties to empty G&H tubs and the problem disappears. The other F&T varieties seem to get along fine with the original canisters and stay exceedingly fresh in them.
Yeah, my Old Paris is nice, moist and fresh like. But I think there have been 2 cans of Santo Domingo that turned on me. The HDT will probably remain more pristine than any others, I assume, with the dryness. Right?
Good to know and glad to hear! Yeah those specks and flakes just kind of freaked me out. Like the thought of snuffing some wierd metal oxides, pain,t or what not. Just gonna start putting them in glass, and sleep a little easier.
