Tibetan Cordyceps Market Appraisal
He simply brought the entire batch of goods to us, hoping to find a Hong Kong counterpart for a face-to-face evaluation. The batch he had was a collection accumulated over several years.
To sell knowingly, the first step is: to clearly explain the foot position, cross-section, fungal aroma, dryness, and broken cordyceps ratio of the Tibetan cordyceps, instead of just saying "a gift from a friend" or "stored for many years." With a direction in the initial assessment, and then inspecting each one during the face-to-face check, the figures will be much more accurate.
Before quoting, you can self-check: If Tibetan cordyceps have been stored for several years, the most important thing is whether they have been exposed to moisture, developed an off-odor, or have too many broken pieces.
First, determine if Tibetan cordyceps are worth a face-to-face inspection
- Pros: Plump body, thick and heavy, clear four feet and rings, short and firm stroma – these support a higher grade, belonging to the first-harvest Nagqu variety from Tibet.
- Cons: The stroma of this batch was longer, belonging to the mid-to-late harvest, and slightly less plump; fortunately, the dryness was sufficient and there were no mold spots, so the deduction was limited.
- The gap should be investigated through provenance, dry weight and authenticity checks rather than transferred directly.
If your home has several types of cordyceps mixed together, it is recommended to first categorize them using the similar cordyceps buyback project; for collection arrangements, please refer to Cordyceps Origin and Grade Classification.
