TBC or C&S: matching the cut to your product line
The cut grade decides what your production line can do with the material, so US buyers usually specify it before anything else.
- Senna leaf TBC (tea bag cut): a fine, sifted cut sized for tea bag machines. This is the grade behind the searches for a wholesale senna leaves TBC supplier; it flows cleanly through packing equipment and brews evenly.
- Senna leaf C&S (cut and sifted): a coarser cut for loose-leaf tea blends, capsule milling and extraction. Buyers searching for senna leaf cut and sifted in bulk want this grade.
- Senna pods, whole, C&S or TBC: pods generally carry a higher and more consistent sennoside level than leaves, which is why extract producers and traditional-remedy packers order pods C&S in bulk.

US import documentation, handled
Every shipment leaves with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and full packing documents. On the US side, herbal ingredient imports move through FDA prior notice and the importer’s FSVP responsibilities; our documentation is prepared so your customs broker has what the process needs. The full walkthrough is in our guide to importing herbal ingredients into the US.
Why Rajasthan senna
Tinnevelly senna from India is the commercial standard for Cassia angustifolia, and Rajasthan’s dry climate suits the crop. Sourcing at origin from a GMP and APEDA certified operation means the cut grades, assay and documents come from one accountable supplier rather than a chain of traders.
