Who sources this ingredient
Tej patta is not Mediterranean bay laurel
This is the single most common ordering error on this item. Indian bay leaf is Cinnamomum tamala, a cinnamon relative, and it tastes of cinnamon and clove. Mediterranean bay is Laurus nobilis and tastes nothing like it. Recipes and specifications written in Europe usually mean the latter; recipes written in India mean this. We supply tej patta and quote against the binomial for exactly that reason. If a specification you have been sent just says bay leaf, send it over and we will confirm which plant is meant before anything ships.
Cinnamaldehyde, linalool and eugenol
Those three compounds are why tej patta tastes the way it does and why it cannot be substituted for Mediterranean bay in a formulation. Moisture is held at or below 10%. Essential-oil grade is selected for distillers working on those markers rather than on leaf appearance. Buyers formulating a spice blend should specify which of the three profiles they are building around, because the balance moves with origin and season.
Whole leaf, crumbled, powder and oil grade
Whole dried leaf goes to spice packers and to food service, where the intact leaf is expected. Crumbled and powder go to blenders and to ready-meal manufacturers. Essential-oil grade goes to distillers. Shelf life is stated at 1 year, shorter than most of the catalog, because aromatic leaf fades; buyers holding stock for longer are better served by scheduled shipments from a recent crop.
