Grade 1 camellia oil, farm-direct. No middlemen. No blending.
Camellia Reserve supplies cold-pressed Camellia Oleifera seed oil in bulk — plus the raw and milled seed it is pressed from — to distributors, processors, and manufacturers. The oil comes from one plantation in Lianping and Longchuan, Guangdong, and is pressed on site. We buy at the farm gate and sell direct. Batches are tested by an accredited third-party laboratory and the reports are available on request; trade coordination is handled by ZS Health Group in Hong Kong.

Documentation
Test reports + sample drum — on request, before contract
One cultivar, one region, bought at the farm gate.
Most wholesale camellia oil is pooled from many farms and seasons before it reaches a buyer. Ours comes from one place. Every litre is pressed at the plantation, from the Guangxi Cenxi Soft Branch No. 3 cultivar grown across Lianping and Longchuan in the Wanlv Lake water-source protection zone, and sold from there.

Grove
Oil-tea is slow. A seed set in autumn ripens the following autumn, roughly 490 days on the tree, which is why you can stand in the grove in November and see white blossom and ripe fruit on the same branch. The long maturation is what builds the oil.
-
Harvest
Seeds are sun-dried and husked by hand. Moisture has to come down below 10% before pressing; damp seed is where mould and aflatoxin start.
-
Pressing
The press room is a modern smoke-free facility, but the method is the local Hakka small-batch press, run at low temperature. The oil ships as it leaves the press.
-
Testing
Batches are tested by 深圳中检联检测有限公司 (Shenzhen SAG), a CNAS/CMA-accredited independent laboratory, against GB/T 11765-2018: acid value, peroxide value, heavy metals, benzo[a]pyrene, and aflatoxin B1. Reports AFSQD020215001C (batch 2023-02-06) and AFSQE110932001C (batch 2024-11-20) are available on request.

Shipping
ZS Health Group in Hong Kong handles contracts, documentation, and freight booking. Export registration is in progress; we state the current status and a realistic lead time in every quotation.
One oil, and the seed it is pressed from.
The flagship oil is cold-pressed at Grade 1 and ships exactly as it leaves the press; a cosmetic-grade refined version of the same oil is available for personal-care manufacturers. The same single-origin seed that feeds the press is also sold raw or milled. Laboratory test reports and samples are available for evaluation.
Camellia Oil
Botanical identity: Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (INCI)
Cultivar: Guangxi Cenxi Soft Branch No. 3
A golden, neutral-scented oil, cold-pressed at Grade 1 and sold as pressed. Low acid and peroxide values across the tested batches — acid 0.49–0.69 mg/g, peroxide 0.024–0.033 g/100g — leave a wide margin for buyers refining to their own specification. The INCI name identifies the botanical; the tested grade is stated on the laboratory reports.

The same seed the oil is pressed from, sold raw or milled. Picking starts at the Frost's Descent solar term — around 23 October — and runs about twenty days; one harvest a year. Seeds are sun-dried and hand-screened to Grade 1 and above. The powder is 100% camellia seed with nothing added, for the same end-uses as the oil. Origin, harvest date, and processing date are on record for every lot.

Cosmetic-Grade Camellia Oil
Botanical identity: Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (INCI)
Refined to cosmetic grade from the flagship Grade 1 cold-pressed oil
Refined to cosmetic grade from the flagship oil above — the same single-origin, cold-pressed feedstock, not bought-in crude. The feedstock’s record is documented: solvent residue was not detected in batch 2023-02-06 (SAG report AFSQD020215001C); arsenic, lead, benzo[a]pyrene, and aflatoxin B1 were not detected in both tested batches (reports AFSQD020215001C and AFSQE110932001C); acid value ran 0.49–0.69 mg/g and peroxide value 0.024–0.033 g/100g across the two batches. Specifications for the refined grade are supplied with your quotation.

What you can check before you commit.
Typical wholesale route
Farm → aggregator → refinery → blender → trader → you
Five hand-offs. Each adds margin and lead time, and the origin information thins out at every step.
Camellia Reserve
Lianping / Longchuan plantation → pressed at source → you
No hand-offs. We buy at the farm gate. The oil is pressed on site, and the next holder after us is the buyer.
Farm-direct
Bought at the farm gate
We purchase directly from the Lianping / Longchuan plantation and sell the oil ourselves. That is the whole chain. It is also why the cultivar and the plantation can sit on every document we issue.
Origin
Single cultivar, single origin
Every drum comes from one award-recognised cultivar on one plantation base. The variety and the region are the same in every drum, and you can carry that origin into your own documentation.
Verification
Tested by an accredited laboratory
Testing is done by 深圳中检联检测有限公司 (Shenzhen SAG), CNAS/CMA accredited. Arsenic, lead, benzo[a]pyrene, and aflatoxin B1 returned “not detected” in both tested batches (reports AFSQD020215001C and AFSQE110932001C). Ask for the reports and a sample drum, and check the numbers yourself.
Cultivation
Manual weeding, natural fertiliser
The plantation sits inside the Wanlv Lake water-source protection zone. Weeding is done by hand and fertilisation is natural manure. Visitors are welcome. The photographs on this page were taken there in December 2025.
Questions buyers ask before ordering.
If yours isn't covered here, include it in your quotation request and we'll answer it there.
Is this cosmetic-grade oil?
The flagship oil is not — it is Grade 1 cold-pressed and sold unrefined, suitable as feedstock for buyers refining on their own lines and for direct culinary and industrial use. A cosmetic-grade refined version of the same oil is available for personal-care manufacturers; its specifications are supplied with your quotation. The INCI names on this site identify the botanical — they are not a grade claim.
Who sits between you and the farm?
No one. The oil is bought directly from the Lianping / Longchuan plantation and pressed at source. There is no aggregator, no third-party refinery, and no blending house in the chain — which is why every drum comes from one cultivar and one plantation.
Why isn't pricing published?
Bulk pricing depends on volume band (trial / scale / strategic), packaging format, and incoterms, so we release numbers with a quotation rather than publishing a list price. Request bulk pricing below and we'll respond with tonnage MOQs and FOB terms for your band.
What's your export status and lead time?
Trade coordination — contracts, documentation, freight — is handled by ZS Health Group in Hong Kong. Export registration is currently in progress. We share the current status and realistic lead times with every quotation, before you commit to anything.
Can I evaluate before committing to tonnage?
Yes. A sample drum and the laboratory test reports (SAG report numbers AFSQD020215001C and AFSQE110932001C) are available on request, before contract — run your own laboratory verification and line trials first.
