Quality & Traceability
Every supply claim should end in something a buyer can verify. This page shows how a lot of Prince Ginseng connects back to its origin — and what documentation we provide per batch.
The Traceability Chain
- Origin
- Lot Number
- Harvest Season
- Growing Plot
- Processing Batch
- Test Report
- Packaging
- Shipment
Origin pins the material to the Shibing growing area. The lot number is the key that links everything: which harvest season the material came from, which plots it was grown on, which processing batch cleaned, dried and sorted it, which test report covers it, and which packaging and shipment it left in.
Supply is organised so that each link in this chain is supported by records and field documentation — photographs and video by stage and season, visible in our base journal.
Testing & Documentation
Testing and documentation that can be arranged per batch, subject to the current material and your destination-market requirements:
- COA — Certificate of Analysis, batch-linked
- Botanical identification of the material
- Heavy metals report
- Pesticide residue report
- Microbiology report (as required)
- Origin documentation
- Other customer-required tests, agreed in advance
We do not display sample certificates or generic specification numbers without a real batch behind them. Request the current batch documentation with your enquiry — that is what we would ship against, and nothing less.

How We Think About Quality
Evidence first
Claims on this site are limited to what our field records and batch documents can support.
Batch over blanket
Herbal raw material varies by season and plot — so our answers are always batch-specific.
Standards as context
National and regional standards frame cultivation practice; they are reference points, not badges.
No invented numbers
No MOQ, moisture or residue figures are published without documentation. Buyers get real data per batch.
