Gunpowder Tea 3505A - Loose Leaf Bulk Supply | Chunli Tea × Your Brand | Sieve 5–16 Mesh, SGS Residue Panel, 200,000 jin/day Intelligent Line
Zhejiang Chunli Tea Co., Ltd. supplies 3505A Gunpowder green tea under your brand as a commercial export grade within the GB/T 14456.4-2016 (3505) band. Declared physical specification: main sieve fraction 5–16 mesh, pellet diameter approximately 2–3 mm, tightly rolled with minimal yellow stalk. Each shipment is supported by an SGS multi-residue panel against GB 2763-2026 (112 actives) or the destination framework, and by a production stream from China's first intelligent "clean-fragrance tight-roll" Gunpowder line (commissioned 2025, 200,000 jin green leaf/day). No organic claim is made. MOQ 500 kg. FOB Ningbo/Shanghai.
3505A sits inside the (3505)band of GB/T 14456.4-2016, one commercial step below 3505AAA and 3505AA, and above the 3505B/C and 9372-series grades. What separates it is physical, not promotional: the main sieve fraction is 5–16 mesh, the pellet diameter sits at approximately 2–3 mm, and the roll is tight enough to hold shape in transit while remaining a commercial-grade cut rather than a pinhead premium[reference:5][reference:6]. The reference sensory descriptors for the band are--round, tightly rolled, heavy-body, uniform, and clean. This page states the physical parameters and the standard reference, and leaves the grade selection to the buyer's application.
Under Chunli Tea × Your Brand, your brand appears on the 25 kg kraft bag, the woven bag, or the private label carton; Chunli Tea is the manufacturer of record. The reason a buyer should care about the factory behind 3505A is consistency and verifiability: the production stream runs on China's first intelligent tight-roll Gunpowder line (commissioned 2025, 200,000 jin green leaf/day), the 2026 build-out adds a 4,000-ton dedicated Gunpowder refining workshop, and the SGS residue panel is issued per lot or per contract frequency against a named standard. A 3505A quotation without the sieve fraction, the pellet diameter, and the residue panel is a price without a specification. The sections below set out the physical data, the SGS testing scope, the capacity backing, and the commercial terms.
3505A Physical Specification - Sieve Fraction, Pellet Diameter, and Release Parameters
| Parameter | 3505A Declared Range | Reference / Basis | Buyer Verification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main sieve fraction | 5–16 mesh | 3505A export specification; corroborated by trade reference for 3505A[reference:9][reference:10] | Sieve analysis on the pellet specification sheet; buyer can re-sieve at arrival |
| Pellet diameter | Approximately 2–3 mm | 3505A sits below 3505AAA (1.5–2.0 mm) and above the larger 9372-series pellets[reference:11] | Measured on a representative sample; stated on the specification sheet |
| Roll tightness / appearance | Round, tight, heavy-body; minimal yellow stalk | GB/T 14456.4-2016 特级 sensory descriptor | Sensory release record; retained reference sample |
| Stem / yellow leaf | Minimal for an A-grade commercial cut; declared per lot | 3505A is positioned above the B/C commercial strata; stem content is stated, not implied as zero[reference:13] | COA line item; visual check against the retained sample |
| Moisture | ≤7.0%(≤6.5% contract-tightenable) | ISO 1573 oven method | COA; buyer can re-test with a moisture meter |
| Total ash | ≤7.0% | ISO 1575 gravimetric method | COA |
| Water extract | ≥32% | ISO 9768 | COA; brewing-strength benchmark |
| Broken pellet ratio | Declared per lot; commercial A-grade tolerance | Sieving; stated on the pellet specification sheet | COA; arrival re-sieve |
| Organic status | No organic certification held; no organic claim made | This is a conventional commercial-grade tea | Written confirmation that no organic claim is made |
Specification note: the 5–16 mesh fraction and 2–3 mm pellet diameter are the working physical parameters for 3505A. The lot-specific sieve analysis and broken ratio are stated on the pellet specification sheet issued with each shipment. "Organic," "slim," and "non-polluted" are not used on this page or on any Chunli Tea document for this grade-no organic certification is held, and no health or weight-related claim is made. If your tender requires a certified organic certificate, 3505A is not the correct grade.
SGS Residue Panel - What Is Tested, Against Which Standard, and How Often
| Testing Element | Chunli Tea × Your Brand Position | Reference | Buyer-Relevant Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| SGS residue panel scope | GB 2763-2026 full 112-active panel, or a destination-specific panel(EU / Morocco / ECOWAS)against the framework stated at RFQ | SGS has developed a 112-item tea residue package covering the full GB 2763-2026 scope, with detection limits meeting the new standard | SGS report stating the actives tested and the limit applied |
| Instrumentation / method | GC-MS-MS and LC-MS-MS multi-residue scan | SGS tea residue packages use GC-MS-MS / LC-MS-MS across the 27–481-item ranges | Method reference on the report |
| Laboratory accreditation | SGS China food laboratories hold CNAS, CMA, and CMAF accreditation | SGS mainland laboratories are CNAS/CMA/CMAF accredited | Accreditation mark on the report |
| Turnaround | Approximately 5 working days for the 112-item package | SGS states a 5-working-day turnaround for the 112-item tea residue package | Report issued before vessel departure where the schedule allows |
| Frequency | Issued per lot or per contract frequency - not a standing certificate | The report is a lot-level or contract-level control, not a product certification | Report accompanies the shipment; retained in the lot file |
| What SGS does NOT replace | Organic certification, CIQ release, or phytosanitary certificate | Residue testing is a food-safety control; it is not a production-system certification | Each document is issued separately; no single report covers all four |
SGS note: the panel is configured to the destination stated at RFQ. For EU-bound or EU-referenced clearances, the 110-item EU-monitoring package or the broader 481-item scan can be specified instead of the GB 2763-2026 panel. The report is issued per lot or per contract frequency and states the actives tested and the limit applied. An SGS residue report is not an organic certificate and does not support an organic claim.

B2B Procurement FAQ - 3505A Physical Specification and SGS Testing
Q1. What is the physical difference between 3505A and 3505AAA / AA?
3505A sits one commercial step below 3505AAA and 3505AA inside the (3505)band. The separators are physical: 3505AAA is 1.5–2.0 mm, 3505AA is 2.0–2.5 mm, and 3505A is approximately 2–3 mm. The main sieve fraction for 3505A is 5–16 mesh. AAA and AA carry a tighter roll and lower broken content; 3505A is the working A-grade commercial cut - still within, but with a slightly wider pellet and a more accessible price point[reference:21][reference:22].
Q2. Is 3505A the same as 9503?
No, and the page does not treat them as interchangeable. 3505A (3505)commercial stratum with a declared 5–16 mesh fraction and 2–3 mm pellet. 9503 appears in the export matrix as a separate grade code, sometimes described as a large-leaf cut with more stems[reference:23]. The physical parameters of 3505A are stated on this page; if your enquiry is for 9503 specifically, the sieve fraction and stem ceiling are confirmed against that grade at RFQ rather than inferred from the 3505A specification.
Q3. What does the SGS report actually cover, and does it prove the tea is organic?
The SGS report covers pesticide residue against a named framework - the GB 2763-2026 full 112-active panel, or an EU/Morocco/ECOWAS panel configured at RFQ. It uses GC-MS-MS and LC-MS-MS methods, is issued by a CNAS/CMA-accredited laboratory, and has a turnaround of approximately 5 working days for the 112-item package. It does not prove organic status. Organic certification is a separate production-system certification covering land conversion, input restrictions, and segregation. No organic certification is held for 3505A, and no organic claim is made.
Q4. How do we verify the 5–16 mesh fraction at arrival?
Run a sieve analysis on a representative sample using the same mesh set specified in the PO. The pellet specification sheet states the main fraction and the oversize/undersize percentages for the lot. A deviation beyond the declared band is a documentable discrepancy. The retained reference sample allows a side-by-side visual and sieve comparison. The buyer does not need a laboratory to check the main fraction - a standard sieve set is sufficient.
Q5. What documents accompany a 3505A lot?
Commercial invoice(grade stated as 3505A), packing list, COA(moisture, total ash, water extract, broken ratio), pellet specification sheet(sieve fraction, pellet diameter, tightness descriptor), SGS residue report(per lot or per contract frequency), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, and health certificate where required. ISO/HACCP/SC/FDA certificate copies are provided in the supplier-approval file. No organic certificate is included because none is held.
Q6. What is the production backing for a repeat 3505A programme?
The intelligent tight-roll Gunpowder line was commissioned in 2025 and runs at approximately 200,000 jin green leaf/day. The 2026 build-out adds a 4,000-ton dedicated Gunpowder refining workshop, a 10,000-ton export blending workshop, and a 6,000-ton packaging workshop, with a 20,000-ton total annual capacity target. A repeat programme is supported by the blending sheet, homogenisation before packing, and a sealed retained reference sample - the three controls that keep the sieve fraction and the cup aligned across releases.
Q7. What is the MOQ, lead time, and loading configuration?
MOQ is 500 kg for standard bulk; 2 MT for private label. Lead time is 15–25 days after confirmation for standard bulk; 20–30 days for private label. A 40HQ loads 22–24 MT in floor-loaded 25 kg kraft bags; a 20'FCL loads 10–12 MT. Ningbo or Shanghai loading.
Q8. Can we audit the sieve testing, SGS sampling, and production line before ordering?
Yes. A supplier audit at the Shengzhou facility can cover the intelligent tight-roll line, the sieve analysis process, the sample preparation for SGS submission, the batch records, and the container loading. Third-party pre-shipment inspection can also be arranged at the factory. The audit is scheduled against the production calendar so the line is running, not idle.
