Sourcing decaf green tea extract? Confirm caffeine target, assay method, COA, sample lot, MOQ, packing and destination requirements first.
Requirements
This B2B sourcing guide helps purchasing, QA, product development and export teams prepare supplier questions before samples or quotation. Use the Green Tea Extract product page as the main commercial page, then confirm specification, document, sample, packing and destination details with the supplier.
Selection Criteria
| Review point | Buyer input | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine target | Buyer target level, reporting unit and acceptable specification range. | Clear target language helps supplier grade matching. |
| Assay method | Method request, representative COA and sample lot record. | Method alignment supports QA review. |
| Application fit | Supplement, beverage, food or functional ingredient project format. | Application affects sensory and document priorities. |
| Document package | Specification sheet, COA, sample lot, packing note and requested export files. | Document package supports procurement review. |
| Commercial details | MOQ expectation, packing size, lead time and destination market. | Commercial inputs help suppliers quote the right grade. |
Practical Recommendation
Start with the intended application, target specification and document checklist. If the grade is fixed, send sample quantity, COA fields, packing request, MOQ expectation and destination market. If the grade is still open, ask for available specification options with representative COA and sample lot details.
Sample Review vs Bulk RFQ
