Shenzhen Market Overview
Shenzhen buyers source TJ Type through Yantian Port, 30km east of city center. The luxury snack segment here needs consistent 38-42 count for automated roasting lines. Local roasters prefer this grade because red skin stays intact during high-temp processing. Volume moved through Yantian increased 18% last year, mostly headed to Guangdong processing facilities. Lead time from Indian ports runs 12-14 days to Yantian. Most orders are 2-3 containers minimum. Buyers here pay on LC terms, 60-day window common. The market moves fast during September to February peak season.

TJ Type Grade Specifications
This grade holds max 7% moisture, which prevents mold during sea transit and storage in humid Guangdong climate. Admixture stays under 0.5%, with foreign matter capped at 0.1%. Count is 38-42 kernels per ounce, tight tolerance. Red skin coverage is uniform, no patchy kernels. Good for luxury roasting because consistent size means even heat distribution. No burnt or undercooked pieces. The low moisture also extends shelf life after roasting. Purity level works for brands that can't afford rejects on production lines.

Price and Value Position
TJ Type costs 8-12% less than Java Bold but delivers similar roasting results for premium brands. The 38-42 count hits the sweet spot for automated equipment without paying for larger 35-40 grades. Buyers save on sorting costs because admixture is already low. Good margin here for brands selling in 100-200g retail packs. The red skin adds visual appeal without extra processing. Freight to Yantian is cheaper than Shanghai or Qingdao routes. Regular buyers lock in quarterly contracts to smooth out price swings.
