Many factors influence the color of a particular batch of indigo extract - the variety of plant itself, the time of harvest (early morning is the best), time to start processing after harvest of a crop (earliest the better, same day definitely), experience of personnel and so on. Not all indigo extracts are made alike or from the same variety of indigotin producing plants. Indigofera Tinctoria gives us a true indigo color. It is also known to produce the highest concentration of indigotin (the blue pigment we all love) among plants that provide us shades of indigo color. Yes, there are quite a few plants that give us blue. During botanical indigo extraction process of Indigofera Tinctoria, first batch out of the vat has highest quantity of indigotin (around 38% - 42%) and is named 'first quality'.
