TRI Validation in Progress

Your TPP Score Already Factors Into Your Auction Price. Now You Can See It in 15 Seconds.

Replace a 2-day, LKR 6,000 lab test with an instant reading. Document ISO 3720 compliance per lot - not just per category.

Why It Matters

TPP is the strongest single predictor of premium pricing at Colombo.

ISO 3720 sets the minimum total polyphenol content for Ceylon Tea at 9%. But premium black tea - the grades that command better prices at Colombo - typically targets 17–21% TPP. The difference between a lot at 13% and a lot at 19% is not just quality. It is negotiating position.

Exporters who can document TPP content per lot have a defensible quality argument with EU and Japanese buyers, who increasingly demand lot-level proof rather than category-level assurance. The 2-day lab test made this impractical at scale. SpectrifyAI makes it standard.

What Changes at Scale

When every lot has a TPP score, new conversations become possible.

Per-lot documentation
"Our lots averaged 19.2% TPP last quarter" is a different conversation than "we meet ISO 3720 minimums." Show premium consistency across a season.
Blend optimisation
Identify which lots to blend to hit a target TPP range. Reduce waste from off-spec blends and adjust before the lot leaves the factory.
Buyer audit readiness
When a buyer asks for lot-level quality documentation, pull the TPP dashboard. Every scan is linked to lot, time, and operator - automatically.

How It Works

From dry powder to TPP percentage in 15 seconds.

01
Load dry powder
Load a small amount of dry black tea powder into the sample cup. The same sample used for moisture can be used for TPP.
02
NIR scan
The spectrometer runs the PLS-R model against the calibration - calibrated against the Folin-Ciocalteu reference method. Result in 15 seconds.
03
TPP% + lot record
The TPP percentage is stored with lot ID, timestamp, and operator. Exportable alongside moisture and leaf grade in a single lot report.
