This section answers common questions from herbal tea companies, cosmetic manufacturers, and wellness brands.
Our lavender is prepared to meet the needs of food, beverage, and wellness industries. These FAQs help buyers understand purity levels, packaging, and export specifications.
The choice between species depends on the final application. True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is prized for its delicate, sweet aroma and is preferred for premium herbal teas and high-end skincare due to its lower camphor content. Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia), often supplied for industrial fragrances and sachets, has a more pungent, camphoraceous scent and larger flower spikes, offering a higher yield of essential oil at a more competitive price point for bulk manufacturing.
High-quality dried Lavender flowers typically contain between 1.5% and 3.0% volatile oil. The primary chemical constituents that define the quality are Linalool and Linalyl acetate. At DITCO, we ensure our flowers are harvested at the peak of their bloom and dried using controlled methods to preserve these aromatic compounds, providing a potent raw material for steam distillation or botanical infusions.
Color is a primary quality indicator for retail-ready lavender. “Extra Blue” refers to flowers that have been harvested early and dried rapidly in the shade to lock in a deep violet-blue hue, with minimal graying. “Blue” or “Standard” grades may have a softer color profile. For B2B clients in the cosmetic and decorative industries, DITCO provides color-consistent batches that ensure visual appeal in transparent packaging or potpourri blends.
Purity is critical in lavender processing to remove stems, leaves, and dust. DITCO utilizes a multi-stage mechanical sifting and air-aspiration process to achieve a “clean-sifted” grade. Our technical specification usually guarantees a flower purity of 98% to 99%, minimizing the presence of woody stems (petioles) and inorganic matter, which is essential for manufacturers producing high-quality tea bags or botanical extracts.
Yes. All Lavender shipments from DITCO are tested for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) to ensure compliance with EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 and FDA standards. Given that lavender is frequently used in both “edible” (tea/food) and “topical” (cosmetic) applications, we implement a strict pesticide monitoring program and provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to verify that the product is free from harmful chemical residues and heavy metals.
Dried Lavender flowers are highly sensitive to light, heat, and moisture. To prevent the degradation of the delicate esters and alcohols (like Linalyl acetate), we pack our bulk lavender in multi-wall kraft bags with food-grade liners or vacuum-sealed bags upon request. For optimal shelf life (up to 24 months), the product should be stored in a cool ($<18$°C), dark, and dry warehouse to maintain its vibrant color and therapeutic aromatic profile.
