Here’s a TESDA- and Oud Academia–aligned module on Single-Origin Agarwood Leaf Tea, focusing on food-grade, non-resin leaves, highlighting traceability, branding, and quality differentiation.
Single-Origin Agarwood Leaf Tea
Premium Food-Grade Product Module
1. Core Principle
“Traceable origin, authentic flavor, premium value.”
Single-origin leaf tea is harvested from a specific plantation, region, or farm, allowing:
- Clear traceability from leaf to cup
- Distinct flavor and aroma profile linked to terroir
- Premium positioning for domestic and export markets
2. Key Features of Single-Origin Leaf Tea
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Geographic Origin | Leaves from a specific plantation or farm | Authenticity, terroir-specific aroma |
| Batch Traceability | Harvest logs, batch codes, drying method records | Compliance with FDA-PH and export regulations |
| Consistent Processing | Standardized withering, drying, and oxidation | Predictable sensory profile |
| Quality Differentiation | Color, aroma, and texture benchmarks documented | Premium pricing and brand positioning |
| Food-Grade Assurance | Hygiene, GMP, allergen and contaminant controls | Regulatory and consumer confidence |
3. Processing for Single-Origin Leaf Tea
- Harvesting – Mature leaves only, from designated plots
- Sorting & Cleaning – Sanitation protocols applied to avoid contamination
- Optional Withering – Control oxidation for desired profile (green or semi-fermented)
- Drying – Sun-drying, cabinet, or low-temp dehydration
- Batch Coding & Traceability – Each batch linked to farm, harvest date, and processing method
- Quality Assessment – Sensory evaluation: color, aroma, texture, moisture content
4. Premium Value Proposition
- Terroir-Specific Aroma: Soil, climate, and microenvironment influence flavor
- Consumer Trust: Single-origin claims backed by traceable batch codes
- Export-Ready: Meets ASEAN, Codex, and FDA-PH standards
- Brand Storytelling: Enables marketing based on sustainability, provenance, and artisanal production
5. TESDA-Aligned Learning Outcomes
Learners will be able to:
- Define single-origin leaf tea and its benefits
- Implement traceable harvest, drying, and packaging protocols
- Maintain batch records to support regulatory compliance
- Assess quality benchmarks for color, aroma, texture, and moisture
- Articulate a brand story emphasizing provenance and premium positioning
6. Integration with Other Modules
- Moisture content, drying methods, enzymatic oxidation, and hygiene protocols feed into single-origin batch integrity
- Supports export and premium market readiness
- Enhances GMP, allergen, and contaminant control measures
7. Training Disclaimer
This module applies exclusively to food-grade agarwood leaves.
Resin and heartwood are non-food plant parts and follow separate processing and regulatory pathways.
✅ Ideal For:
- TESDA CBLM & advanced processing modules
- Oud Academia premium leaf tea production and branding courses
- Plantation SOPs emphasizing traceability, hygiene, and quality
- Export-ready single-origin herbal tea production
I can next create:
- A visual infographic showing single-origin tea workflow and traceability
- A batch traceability log template for single-origin leaves
- Integration with other modules: drying, oxidation, moisture, GMP, and sensory evaluation
