Introduction

Source your next container of dried guava leaves directly from Egypt — available as Whole Leaf, Cut / TBC, or Powder, processed to meet your exact specifications for herbal tea, botanical extraction, nutraceutical or cosmetic use.

Dried guava leaves are bought for what is in them. The leaf carries a high concentration of tannins, flavonoids — quercetin among them — and polyphenols, and those compounds are what tea blenders and extract houses are actually purchasing. They degrade with heat, so how the leaf is dried matters more than almost anything else in the supply chain.

We air-dry rather than force-dry, in shade rather than direct sun. It takes longer and costs more, but it keeps both the compound profile and the green colour intact. Leaves are hand-picked young and healthy from established Egyptian orchards, with damaged, diseased, and yellowing material excluded before drying.

Available Forms

Choose the form that best matches your processing requirements:

Whole Leaf — intact dried leaf for premium herbal tea, visible botanical applications, and buyers who prefer to cut in-house. Packed in cartons to limit breakage.

Cut / TBC (Tea Bag Cut) — sized for tea bag filling lines and infusion blends. Tell us the particle range your equipment runs.

Powder — milled to your mesh specification for capsules, extract feedstock, and cosmetic formulation. Milled close to dispatch, since surface area exposure accelerates degradation in ground material.

Quality & Certifications

We stand behind the quality of our dried guava leaves because we build long-term supply partnerships.

For independent verification, we accept third-party inspection by SGS or another inspection company of your choice, at the buyer’s expense.

Our certificates and registrations include:

• NFSA registered with the Egyptian Food Safety Authority
• ISO 9001 & ISO 22000 certified for quality and food safety management
• FDA, DUNS, GACC (China), and MFDS (Korea) registered.

Composition. Guava leaf is characterised by its content of tannins (the dominant compound group and the basis of most commercial interest), flavonoids including quercetin and its glycosides, polyphenols, and essential oil constituents in small quantities. What buyers formulate with this material, and what they may claim about it, is determined by their own market’s regulations.

Beyond certificates, we rely on our family experience and reputation. Our roots in the herb trade go back to 1960, beginning with our grandfather. We protect that reputation with every shipment and seek lasting relationships with importers.

 Shipping, Export Coordination & Documentation

Shipping & Logistics:

• FOB, CFR, and CIF Incoterms, with loading from Port Said, Alexandria, Damietta, and Sokhna ports
• Lead time: 12–14 days from order confirmation
• Cost-effective shipping arrangements through our freight partners

Export Documentation:

• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Certificate of Origin (COO)
• Official Phytosanitary Certificate
• Bill of Lading (BL)
• Fumigation Certificate when required
• Full insurance policy

Silica gel is placed inside the container to help control humidity and protect the quality of the guava leaves during transit.

Packaging, Shelf Life & Storage

Packing Configurations:

• 5-10 kg Polypropylene (PP) bags or paper bags
• 5 kg Carton box recommended for whole leaves, to prevent crushing in transit
• 20 – 10 kg PP bags for cut/powder Dried Guava leaves 
• Customized B2B packing and private labelling available on request

Shelf Life: Up to 24 months when stored under recommended conditions.

Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry environment, protected from direct sunlight and humidity. Light and heat degrade both colour and compound content well before the date expires, so storage conditions matter more than the calendar.

Supply Capacity & What Affects Guava Leaves Price

Supply Capacity:

• MOQ: 2.50 – 6 metric tons, flexible for regular buyers. Dried guava leaf is low density, so a container fills by volume before weight.
• Regular monthly shipping availability
• Contract-based programs for continuous annual-volume supply
• Volume terms: free fumigation, plus insurance included on orders above 5-12 MT
• Consolidation available — guava leaf can ship alongside other dried botanicals in one container

What Affects Guava Leaves Price:

• Quality — The quality and color of our Egyptian dried guava leaves are maintained through careful processing and manual sorting by skilled, experienced workers who have been trained in this work for many years and are part of our own dedicated team.
• Colour and drying method — shade air-dried leaf holds its compound profile and green colour; force-dried material assays lower
• Product form — whole leaf, cut, TBC or powder
• Order volume and packaging configuration
• Timing of the order relative to the harvest season

Because guava leaves price varies according to these factors, we quote each shipment individually rather than publish a fixed rate. For better planning, check our Egyptian Herbs, Spices, Seeds & Legumes Harvest Calendar to understand seasonal timing.
