Red Vein · Borneo origin
A Kalimantan-sourced red with a cleaner, slightly drier finish than a Sumatran equivalent. Harvested from the inland forest corridor east of Putussibau, sun-dried on rack — a strong second red SKU for distributors who already stock Sumatra Red.
MOQ 25 kg · Samples up to 100g available · FOB Jakarta or DAP Rotterdam
Producer note
Our Red Borneo comes from trees growing in the inland corridor east of Putussibau — a drier, more elevation-sheltered microclimate than our coastal parcels. The leaves mature a little slower, with a slightly more linear alkaloid profile.
Drying follows the same sun-rack protocol as Sumatra Red, but the shorter rainy window here means batches finish faster and more evenly. Moisture consistency is typically tighter on Borneo Red than any other red in the catalogue.
For the end market
Borneo Red is usually shelved next to Sumatra Red as a "regional alternative" — same category, slightly different character. Customers who use red daily often rotate between the two.
Pairs well in variety bundles with Sumatra Red as a "taste the difference" tier. Private-label 50g / 100g pouches are the standard, encapsulated 500mg for the evening line.
Quality assurance
We run each production batch through an independent Indonesian laboratory for heavy metals, microbiological contamination (TPC, yeast/mould, Salmonella, E. coli), and alkaloid quantification. The Certificate of Analysis ships with every order — digitally and in the crate.
Logistics
We handle export documentation, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice and packing list. Shipments leave from Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) to Rotterdam, Hamburg, or Antwerp with typical transit of 28–35 days sea, or 4–7 days air.
