2. Selecting the herb origin – Prior to acquisition each herb purchased by Ko Da, it undergoes environmental assessment, sample testing, and thorough examinations to ensure the quality of herbs. The source herbal materials are then obtained from the qualified private growers and suppliers whose products meet our strict quality specifications. We secure the planting quality by maintaining long term relationships with our suppliers and regularly purchasing qualifying crops from them.
