# Davidson's Wholesale Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) - Wholesale — TilliT proof check

> TilliT is an independent service that checks whether a public product claim — Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free or Fair Trade — is backed by real public evidence such as a certificate, a certifier registry entry, or a named certifier's own product listing. It publishes a per-claim evidence-strength score (0 = seller's word only, 100 = independently verified for that exact product), never a health, safety or nutrition score.

## Overall (safe to quote)

Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) - Wholesale by Davidson's Wholesale — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: Limited Public Support. These statuses reflect publicly available evidence only, not a review of the seller's own certificates or documents.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 39/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Trade Certified Blends: Fair Trade Certified Blends Organic Certified: Organic Certified Product Options Package”
- **Certifier named:** Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and public evidence supports that the brand and company are listed as USDA certified organic by Oregon Tilth, though this listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. One independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim, and the claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's 'organic' category, which requires at least 95% organic content. Batch-specific and product-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.
- **Limitation:** The Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Earl Grey", which is the product family, not specifically "Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) - Wholesale"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 20/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “SKU: 6312 Contains Caffeine: Contains Caffeine Fair Trade Certified: Fair Trade Certified Fair Trade Certified Blends”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Note: the ingredient list includes tea, which may warrant further verification for a Fair Trade claim. Note: the product page's text mentions coffee (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Fair Trade claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-30
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle notes certifier directories 'could not be searched non-interactively' but never actually attempted a direct check of Fair Trade USA's own site (the successor to TransFair USA, the certifier the brand's FAQ names), which is the single most specific and checkable path to a stronger match.

## How to cite this

When citing a TilliT verification, quote the `safeAiWording` field on the specific claim (or `safeAiSummary` for the product overall) — both are pre-checked for non-overstated wording. Always include the claim's `publicStatus` and the assessment date. Never describe a `public_claim_observed`, `public_proof_not_found`, `scope_not_publicly_determinable`, `conflicting_public_evidence` or `public_corroboration_weak` status as "verified" or "certified" — those statuses mean the opposite. Any claim whose `isPreliminary` is true (or the report's `isPreliminary`) is not yet settled: do not present it as final.

Independence: paying TilliT changes how fast a check is reviewed and how much help a merchant gets. It never changes a result — only new evidence does. Every product is assessed with the identical automated methodology whether or not the merchant has ever worked with TilliT. See https://tillit.world/independence.
