Flavor and Selection Specifications
These smoked sour plums are seedless, have no Chinese medicinal-herb taste and contain no preservatives. Compare samples for tartness, smoky flavor, size and chew. They are a separate product from carbon-smoked plums with pits; confirm the full product name when ordering. Custom formulations are reviewed separately.
Snack, Gift and Beverage Applications
- Sour snacks and sharing bags: compare tartness, smoky notes, sweet-salty balance and chew, then plan net weight around the intended portion. If a similar piece count per bag matters, review the size range as well; weight alone does not establish a fixed count.
- Tea pairings and sparkling drinks: taste alongside tea first, then trial in-cup use with the intended recipe. Record quantity, drink temperature, cup format and holding time, and assess flavor, fruit texture and ease of serving.
- Gifts and mixed assortments: decide the flavor mix, inner-pack count and portions before choosing the box. For shared bags, trial the intended proportions and review aroma, texture and storage compatibility. Keep each item's ingredients and notices identifiable; these plum specifications do not cover every product in an assortment.

Make Sample Comparisons Practical
Record acidity, smoky notes, sweetness, saltiness and chew separately before judging the overall flavor. Use the same sample and record across purchasing, development and service teams so preferences have a shared basis. State any size, pit-fragment or sorting requirements when asking for samples; the seedless format does not replace agreed pitting and inspection criteria.
Change the trial to suit the use. For snack packs, compare portions, opening frequency and companion products. For drinks, record quantity, cutting, contact time and temperature. Test heating, chilling or other preparation with the intended equipment, then assess flavor and fruit condition. An appealing tasting and repeatable performance in a recipe are separate results.
Share any ingredient or additive restrictions and your target market so sample selection can include the complete ingredient declaration, label and document needs. Compare suitable existing products first, then discuss custom options against the available supply conditions.
Choose Packaging Around Actual Use
Share the expected quantity, net weight, bag format, sales market and requested arrival date. Small bags, sharing packs and gifts have different opening and display needs. A packing trial can compare fill space, seals and label placement. For repacking, also review handling and storage after opening. Discuss material minimums and costs separately from product quantity before agreeing the supply schedule.
Information to Include in Your Inquiry
- Application, market, preferred tartness and smoky flavor, and ingredient restrictions
- Sample notes, size and pitting requirements, net weight and bag format
- Estimated quantities, label languages and required product documents
- Destination, requested arrival dates and any trial or split-order needs
Match the Sample to Its Product Documents
Keep the item name, sample, formula, packaging and batch information together for repeat orders. When requesting nutrition information, specifications or testing, state the market, required tests and report-date conditions. Check published reports for product relevance and scope; one report does not cover every pack or batch. Raise additional tests or document formats before quotation so costs and timing can be reviewed.

Buyer FAQ
How does this differ from carbon-smoked plums?
This smoked sour-plum item is seedless, has no Chinese medicinal-herb taste and contains no preservatives. Carbon-smoked plums are a separate product with pits. Match the full product name and sample, then confirm the selected formula and pack; custom formulas need separate review. Include any pitting, sizing or sorting requirements in the inquiry.
Does no medicinal-herb taste mean no licorice or herbal ingredients?
No. It describes the flavor rather than the ingredient list. Compare tartness and smoky notes with a sample, then review the complete selected-product declaration. List any licorice, herb, flavoring or other ingredient restrictions that need to be checked.
How is the no-preservatives specification confirmed?
This smoked sour-plum item contains no preservatives. Check the selected formula, complete ingredients and label when ordering. Other plum preserves and custom recipes need separate confirmation. No preservatives does not mean no other food additives; state any document or testing requirements when requesting a quotation.
Can we use the plum in tea or sparkling drinks?
Begin with a sample trial in the actual drink and cup. Record quantity, temperature, holding time and the way the fruit will be eaten. Assess flavor and texture before selecting it. Direct tasting does not establish soaking, heat or chilled-texture performance.
What information helps when requesting samples?
Share the application, preferred tartness and smoky flavor, trial quantity and pack direction. Ask about availability, charges and dispatch timing. Compare chew, size and portions under consistent conditions. An existing recipe or reference sample can help make preferences clearer.
How do we check wholesale MOQ and lead time?
Provide the selected item, net weight, expected quantity, destination and requested arrival date. List trial-order or split-order quantities separately. Materials, labels and document preparation also need to be considered; a single minimum or number of days does not apply to every order.
Can we discuss OEM/ODM or own-label packaging?
Yes. Share the bag, net weight, label languages, target price range and quantity for review. Compare desired tartness, smoky flavor or size with existing samples before discussing what can be supplied. Formula changes require a separate feasibility assessment rather than a promise that every adjustment can be made.
Which storage directions and shelf life apply?
Confirm them for the selected formula, final packaging and label, and describe warehouse, display and use conditions. Unopened packs, opened stock, repacked goods and drinks are different situations. Obtain the applicable storage information and expiry-label requirements before ordering rather than applying one period to all uses.
