Grade A Quality: Our Hygienic Process for Sourcing Premium Catappa Leaves from Indonesia

POSTED ON DEC 5, 2025 | TOPIC: QUALITY ASSURANCE & SOURCING

For wholesale buyers of Indian Almond Leaves (Catappa), quality assurance is paramount. PT Aloka Cipta Mandiri sets itself apart by adhering to strict hygiene protocols from sourcing to final packaging. Our commitment ensures that every shipment meets the global demand for Grade A botanicals.

The Sourcing Difference: Why Sun-Dried Leaves are Superior

We exclusively source naturally fallen leaves, which guarantees maximum tannin potency. The leaves are then sun-dried (not oven-dried) on raised beds in clean, controlled environments. Sun-drying is critical as it preserves the structure and biological compounds of the leaf, locking in the natural benefits required for aquatic and terrarium environments.

• Natural Tannin Potency: Sun-drying retains more of the beneficial humic substances.
• Sustainable Sourcing: We never pick green leaves, ensuring ecological sustainability.
• Pest & Debris Check: Initial inspection occurs immediately at the point of collection.

Our Mold-Free Guarantee and Quality Control Measures

Mold is the biggest concern for bulk Catappa leaf imports. We combat this through mandatory, thorough washing upon arrival at our facility, followed by careful grading, and moisture reduction.

• Hygienic Processing: Leaves are washed in purified water to remove dust, bird droppings, and debris, a step often skipped by other suppliers.
• UV Sterilization (Optional): We offer UV sterilization on request for maximum safety.
• Final Grading: Every leaf is manually inspected and sorted by size (Nano, Small, Medium, Large) to ensure Grade A quality and structural integrity.
