Basic Prerequisite Knowledge 9380 belongs to the export eyebrow tea system as a small-to-medium particle eyebrow grade (different from long strip grades like 41022/9371). It consists of screened short or uniform particles; it extracts quickly, flows well, but has low strip integrity, so it's not originally intended for loose leaf display. Organic is based on 9380 with added organic cultivation and certification attributes, without changing its original particle size positioning. Benchmarking: Full strip organic eyebrow grades are generally 9366 > 9371 > 41022; 9380 has finer particles, better suited for extraction/filling, with raw material maturity usually higher than the first three, natural cost lower than organic 9371/41022, and much higher than regular non-organic 9380. Key Conflict: It has both "organic certification premium" and "fragmented particle attributes," so its fit has clear boundaries and can't be sold as organic 41022/9371 to loose leaf retail customers. Below is a breakdown by scenario. 1. Product Positioning by Channel & Suitable Wholesale Customers 1. Tea bag factories, blending companies, substitute tea/functional tea base clients → The most core and suitable customers These are the top-priority target customers for Organic 9380. Core Advantages: 1.1 Particle size is uniform (typically 1-2mm), good flow for dosing, won't clog packing machines, resistant to segregation, ideal for tea bag portion filling; 1.2 Solubles extract quickly, consistent concentration, clear yellow-green liquor, good taste for a single brew, no need for full strips; 1.3 Organic attribute meets compliance for organic tea bags and clean label, residue-free blending bases in Europe, the US, the Middle East, etc.; 1.4 Can be used alone for pure green tea bags or blended with herbs/fruits for organic flavored tea, serving as a low-cost organic green tea base; 1.5 Positioning: Economical organic-certified filling/blending material, replacing non-organic 9380 and organic tea dust/flakes, balancing organic compliance and filling costs; 1.6 Note: If the customer wants full leaf pyramid tea bags with visible long strips, recommend organic 9371/9366, not 9380. 2. Food & beverage, hotels, vending machines, tea ingredient channels → Highly suitable (with conditions)2.1 Suitable scenarios: Large-capacity pot brewing, bulk hot water dispensing,...

      hun Mee (Zhen Mei) 41022 is the standard customs code for the classic Chinese export green tea Zhen Mei. 41022 and 41022A belong to the same basic Zhen Mei grade series. The suffix "A" does not indicate absolute quality; it should not be simply assumed that A is better than the version without A. Selection must consider a combination of actual sieve specifications, dry tea samples, cupping sensory evaluation, target cost, and end customer requirements.     Industry background: 41022 is the basic Zhen Mei code; the suffix A is a custom addition by factories or traders and is not a mandatory national standard grading symbol. Different tea factories and exporters define "A" differently, which is the main reason why quality cannot be judged by the letter A alone. In some factories, A represents a carefully selected batch with fewer broken leaves; in others, it may just indicate batch or minor sieve...
