Import Bay Leaf — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Indian bay leaf (Cinnamomum tamala, tejpat) from KRISHVA OVERSEAS is a whole dried leaf spice with a cinnamon-clove aroma profile distinct from Mediterranean laurel. The listing specifies bulk packaging for wholesale supply, with leaves sourced from farm-level procurement. Typical dried tejpat leaf measures 5-7 cm in length and 2-3 cm in width, with an essential oil content of 1-3% by weight standard for this species.

The leaves are sun-dried or mechanically dried to below 12% moisture standard for shelf stability, then cleaned of stems and foreign matter. No additives or preservatives are mentioned in the source. The flavour compounds include eugenol, linalool and cinnamaldehyde, which differentiate this Indian variety from the herbaceous profile of true bay (Laurus nobilis). Bulk packaging is typically poly-lined jute or PP woven bags of 25-50 kg, though the source does not specify exact container type.

Primary buyers include food processing units, spice blend manufacturers, restaurant chains and catering operations. The leaves are used whole in tempering, biryanis, garam masala blends and pickling brines. The listing mentions FOB and CIF as available Incoterms. MOQ is described as flexible, though no figure is stated. Buyers should confirm the exact MOQ, pack size and whether the leaves are hand-selected or machine-cleaned before finalising terms.

KRISHVA OVERSEAS is listed as an imported-tier supplier with harbour trust status on the platform. The company has a 0.00% response rate and zero recorded average response hours, indicating no confirmed buyer engagement through the platform's messaging system. No address, year of establishment, employee count or revenue data is present in the source profile. The supplier is based in India, though the specific state or city is not stated.

The listing positions KRISHVA OVERSEAS as a source for farm-procured bay leaves with flexible MOQ arrangements. No certifications, audit reports or verification documents are mentioned. Buyers should independently verify the supplier's export licence, FSSAI registration (if applicable) and ability to provide phytosanitary certificates before placing orders. The absence of response data suggests direct outreach by email or phone may be more reliable than platform messaging.
