The first is to buy.
First of all, you need to choose tea according to your hobby, purpose and time limit. If you plan to collect it for several years after improving the quality, you can choose cooked tea. If you plan to collect it for a long time, you'd better buy raw tea, because it takes about 10 years for it to mature. Secondly, when buying, we should distinguish the manufacturer and the place of origin. In order to collect tea products produced by manufacturers with excellent materials and stable quality, it is best to choose ecological organic tea, and the tea produced by ancient tea gardens is the top grade. Thirdly, when buying, we should carefully taste the age and quality of tea to determine the purchase price.
The second is archiving.
After buying back the tea, we should make a good record of Fenghuang Tuo's collection, and carefully record the time, place, manufacturer, variety, grade, name and whether it is an ecological tea, so as to prepare for future appreciation and trading. It is suggested to stamp your own collection seal (or affix your own collection seal) near the tea brand, so that the famous products collected by celebrities will have more room for appreciation in the future.
The third is storage. Phoenix Tuo storage is very particular. Generally, there should be a special storage room to avoid direct sunlight and rain. Keep the temperature at about 25℃ and the humidity at about 75%. The room should be ventilated, and don't put it with other smelly things. Loose tea should be packed in large pottery pots, and cake tea, melon tea and Tuo tea should be made of wooden frames to facilitate ventilation. The wooden frame should be made of watermelon wood with loose material and no peculiar smell. Tibetan tea should be turned once every three months or so to check whether it is moldy or invaded by other parasites. It is best to take Tibetan tea out of the warehouse in about three months and disinfect the warehouse with ultraviolet rays to avoid cross-infection. If any abnormality is found, measures should be taken or experts should be consulted as soon as possible.
