Bay Leaf — Premium Export from India

Origin: Uttarakhand & Himachal Pradesh, India  ·  sales@orifields.com  ·  +91 97463 61801

Indian Bay Leaf (Tej Patta, Cinnamomum tamala) is botanically and aromatically distinct from Mediterranean bay laurel (Laurus nobilis). While European bay laurel has a herbal, eucalyptus-like aroma, Indian Tej Patta has three visible veins and a flavour profile closer to cinnamon and cloves — making it an irreplaceable ingredient in authentic South and Southeast Asian cuisine.

ORIFIELDS INTERNATIONAL supplies premium dried Indian bay leaves from Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, dried, cleaned, and graded for uniform size, rich colour, and strong aroma. We serve food manufacturers, ethnic food product companies, spice blenders, herbal product companies, and essential oil producers globally.

Common Questions About Bay Leaf

Detailed answers for buyers, importers, and procurement teams sourcing Indian Bay Leaf from ORIFIELDS INTERNATIONAL.

What is the flavour difference between Indian bay leaf and European bay laurel?+

Indian bay leaf (Tejpatta) has three veins and a cinnamon-clove-pepper flavour. Mediterranean bay laurel has one vein and a more herbal, eucalyptus-camphor character. They are not interchangeable in authentic South Asian recipes.

What are the main food industry applications for Indian bay leaves?+

Essential in authentic biryani, curry, dal, and pilaf production. Critical for ethnic food manufacturers (Indian, Pakistani, Middle Eastern food brands) requiring genuine Tejpatta for authentic flavour profiles.

What packaging is used for bay leaf exports from Orifields?+

10kg and 20kg double-wall corrugated cartons with food-grade polythene inner lining to protect aroma, prevent crushing, and block moisture during sea or air freight.

What documentation is provided for bay leaf exports?+

Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Origin, Quality COA, and Fumigation Certificate. Pesticide residue analysis available for EU and regulated markets on request.
