How to Choose a Butterfly Pea Flower Supplier for Export
A credible butterfly pea supplier proves its claims on the paperwork, not the sales page. THS IMPEX LLP, a botanical exporter registered under GSTIN 36AAXFT6971E1ZF and operating from Hyderabad, India since 2020, supplies dried butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea, CAS 2055943-25-0) grown in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, and ships them under HSN 0603 to buyers in 50+ countries. This guide lists what a buyer should verify with any butterfly pea flower supplier before committing to a bulk order.
Confirm the product specification
THS IMPEX supplies whole dried butterfly pea flowers with high ORAC antioxidant values above 5000 μmol TE/g and a deep blue to purple colour driven by anthocyanins. Ask for the anthocyanin colour intensity and the moisture band on the Certificate of Analysis, because low pigment usually signals poor drying or over-aged stock.
Verify the documentation
Every THS IMPEX lot ships under HSN 0603 with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis, full traceability to the growing region in Bareilly, and GSTIN 36AAXFT6971E1ZF for a verifiable Indian legal entity. For US and EU imports, the export file adds the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and a phytosanitary certificate for customs clearance.
Check packaging and shelf life
THS IMPEX packs butterfly pea flowers in 1 kg, 5 kg and 25 kg PP bags rated for a 24-month shelf life. Because anthocyanins degrade with humidity, confirm moisture-barrier packaging and ask whether long-transit shipments include a desiccant before you finalise the order.
Samples, MOQ and a 7–10 day dispatch
Request a paid sample of the exact grade so your team can run a hot-water extraction to check colour intensity and pH reactivity before a bulk contract. THS IMPEX confirms the minimum order quantity in writing and dispatches within 7–10 business days of order confirmation.
