Choose the Plum Around Its Intended Use
Suzhou-style preserved plum is a finished preserved-fruit item, not plum juice, sauce or drink powder. Compare chew, sweet-sour-salty balance, aroma and piece size before choosing it as a standalone snack or part of an assortment. Q-style describes a texture direction; tea, black tea, mango and pineapple provide starting points for flavor selection. These are not five guaranteed stock items. Confirm the ingredient declaration and shelf life for each selected item.
Snack, Gift and Tea Applications
- Tea pairings and drinks: compare eating the plum alongside tea with using it in the cup or as a garnish. Trial the actual cup, recipe, temperature and holding time. Record flavor and fruit condition rather than treating a favorable tasting as proof of soaking or processing performance.
- Snack and sharing packs: plan portions around piece size, net weight and opening frequency. Mixed assortments also need a review of aroma, texture and storage compatibility; products that taste good separately are not automatically suitable for packing together.
- Gift assortments: agree the flavor mix, inner-pack count and label placement before choosing outer materials. Keep each item's name, ingredients and food notices identifiable; the black tea label should not stand in for every flavor in the box.

Make Sample Comparisons Useful
Describe the desired chew, sweetness and acidity before comparing aroma. Tea or black tea may suit one brief, while mango or pineapple may suit another. A flavor name is not an ingredient list and does not establish that mango or pineapple fruit has been added. Confirm tea source, ingredients and preparation method for the selected item; the 80g black tea gift box's characteristics do not describe the entire Suzhou range.
Use the same sample and tasting record across purchasing, development and service teams. Record chew, sweet-sour-salty balance and portions in direct tasting. For drinks, add fruit quantity, tea and sugar ratios, holding time and ease of serving. Test any cutting, heating or chilling with the intended equipment before deciding whether the item suits your recipe.
For a retail pack example, see Fullten Black Tea Plums Gift Box (80 g). Its ingredients list plum, cane sugar, salt, black tea, neotame, sodium metabisulfite, benzoic acid as a preservative, and flavoring. It contains sulfur dioxide and is not suitable for people with sulfite allergies or sensitivities. These notices concern that 80g retail item, not a shared formula for all Suzhou-style plums. Check the complete ingredients, allergens and nutrition information for any other selection.
Plan the Pack Before the Order
Share expected quantities, net weight, bag format and sales market. Small packs, sharing bags and gifts have different opening and display needs. Use a packing trial to review fill space, seals and label placement before agreeing material minimums. For split orders, list quantities, destinations and requested arrival dates. The retail reference's 80g weight is not a standard for every wholesale pack.
Information to Include in Your Inquiry
- Intended use, sales market, flavor preferences and ingredient restrictions
- Sample notes, piece size, pit requirements and proposed pack weight
- Estimated quantities, label languages and required product documents
- Requested arrival dates, destination and any split-order requirements
Match the Sample to Its Product Documents
Identify the selected item, pack weight, application and market when asking for specifications or test reports. List required tests and report-date conditions. Published reports need to be checked for product relevance and test scope; one report is not a guarantee for every flavor or batch. Keep the sample name, formula, pack and storage requirements together for future orders.

Buyer FAQ
Are all five flavor directions available to order?
Q-style chewy plum, tea plum, black tea, mango and pineapple are directions for discussion, not five guaranteed stock items. Ask which selections and samples are available. Mango or pineapple flavor does not establish added fruit; ingredients, tea source and preparation method must be confirmed for the chosen product.
Which notices apply to the 80g black tea retail reference?
Fullten Black Tea Plums Gift Box (80 g) contains cane sugar, neotame, sodium metabisulfite and benzoic acid as a preservative. It contains sulfur dioxide and is not suitable for people with sulfite allergies or sensitivities. Read that item's complete label; this is not the formula for every Suzhou-style plum.
Can the plum be used in tea or other drinks?
Request a sample for the actual recipe. Confirm piece size and pit status, then record the fruit quantity, cup format, drink temperature and holding time. Assess flavor and ease of eating. Direct tasting does not establish soaking, heat or chilled-texture performance.
How should we request samples and compare texture?
Share the intended use, flavors to compare and tasting or trial quantity. Ask about sample availability, charges and dispatch timing. Use a common record for sweetness, acidity, saltiness, chew and aroma. A reference sample or existing recipe brief can make the discussion more specific.
How are wholesale MOQ and lead time agreed?
Request a quotation for the selected flavor, net weight, quantity and desired arrival date. Product and packaging materials may have different minimums. Include branded printing, additional documents and split-order needs before confirming timing; there is no single minimum or lead time for every specification.
Can we discuss OEM/ODM or own-label small packs?
Yes. Share the bag format, net weight, label languages, target price range and quantity for a feasibility discussion. List any desired changes to sweetness, aroma or specific ingredients. Review existing selections first; packaging or recipe development is not a guarantee that every requested change can be made.
Does a one-year shelf life apply to the whole range?
No. Fullten Black Tea Plums Gift Box (80 g) states one year and cool, dry storage away from sunlight and heat. Check its actual expiry date. This is not a range-wide or after-opening promise. Other flavors, repacking and drink preparation require their own storage review.
What documents should purchasing or export teams request?
Specify the market, label languages, selected flavor and channel requirements. Ask about complete ingredients, allergens, nutrition information, specifications and relevant test reports. Confirm the scope, cost and timing of additional tests or formats; existing reports do not establish suitability for every market.
