The protocol

14 checkpoints, in order.

From the moment a leaf is cut to the moment a sack is sealed. Every checkpoint logs to the lot's traceability file and prints onto the COA.

  1. 01

    Field selection

    Cluster lead inspects and scores each plot for disease, pest pressure, and visual maturity before harvest is approved.

  2. 02

    Harvest window

    Cut between 06:00 and 09:00 to preserve chlorophyll and minimise enzymatic browning. Hand-cut, never mechanical.

  3. 03

    Field-to-shade in 90 min

    Cut leaves arrive at the shade-drying yard within 90 minutes. We log departure and arrival timestamps on every batch.

  4. 04

    Shade dry, never sun dry

    Forced-air shade drying at 35–40 °C for 36–48 hours. Vitamin C and chlorophyll retention is far higher than sun-dried.

  5. 05

    Visual sort

    Trained sorters remove stems, discoloured leaves, and any foreign matter. Sample of 100 g pulled per 10 kg sorted.

  6. 06

    Metal detection

    Inline ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless detection. Reject loop with sealed waste bin, calibration logged daily.

  7. 07

    Mill to mesh

    Grade-specific milling. 80–120 mesh for powder, 4–10 mesh for tea cut. Mesh size verified with ASTM-grade sieves per batch.

  8. 08

    Sieve & declump

    Vibratory sieve removes oversize. Declumper ensures fine, free-flowing powder ready for blending or capsuling.

  9. 09

    In-house lab pre-check

    Moisture, ash, particle size, and basic micro on every batch — same day. Fails go back; passes move to NABL lab.

  10. 10

    NABL lab full panel

    Heavy metals, pesticide residues, pathogens, and assay run at an external NABL-accredited lab. 4–6 day turnaround.

  11. 11

    COA review & sign-off

    Quality lead reviews COA against your spec sheet. If the lot doesn't meet spec, it doesn't ship — full stop.

  12. 12

    Pack under controlled conditions

    Packed in food-grade, foil-lined sacks. Optional N₂ flush, oxygen scavenger, or vacuum on request.

  13. 13

    Lot photo & weigh

    Every sack photographed against the lot tag and weighed on a calibrated scale. Photo set sent to you before dispatch.

  14. 14

    Dispatch with paperwork

    COA, packing list, phytosanitary, and certificate of origin (where applicable) emailed before the container is sealed.
