# Numi Tea High Mountain Black™ — 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. ## Product - **Brand:** Numi Tea - **Product:** High Mountain Black™ - **GTIN:** 9136537010487 - **Sold at:** numitea.com - **Product page:** https://numitea.com/products/high-mountain-black-iced-tea - **Assessment ID:** pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8 - **Assessed:** 2026-10-15 - **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-15 - **Review mode:** Check complete · human review verified - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.2 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8 ## Overall (safe to quote) High Mountain Black™ by Numi Tea — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; Vegan: Limited Public Support; Non-GMO: 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:** 37/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “with ice. Enjoy! Ingredients Verified Fair Labor™ organic Yunnan Black Tea Organic Non-GMO Halal Kosher Fair” - **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim, and public evidence retrieved includes a certifier listing the company behind this brand as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. One independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim, and batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. Public evidence found is brand-level and company-level. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-14 - **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance. - **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add. - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks. ### Vegan - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 5/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “layers to ensure freshness. Our plant-based wrappers have been tested to make sure they completely” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page shows the brand's own statement that its plant-based wrappers were tested, but no independent Vegan certificate for this exact item was found in the sources checked. TilliT did not retrieve an ingredient list, so no ingredient check was completed, and the public-evidence score reflects only how much independent proof was found. Vegan is not defined by US food regulation, and this claim can be self-declared without required independent testing. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-14 - **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance. - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks. ### Non-GMO - **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`) - **Evidence strength:** 5/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Verified Fair Labor™ organic Yunnan Black Tea Organic Non-GMO Halal Kosher Fair Labor Verified Climate Neutral B” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. Specifically, the brand has publicly stated related credibility information. Public evidence found is brand-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-14 - **Limitation:** No structured ingredient list was available for this product; the risk-ingredient scan could not run. Absence of risk-ingredient flags does not confirm compliance. - **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only. - **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks. ## Not claimed on this page Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free, Fair Trade. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8 - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_48ee04e253c148ff9a27695db9533ae8/history ## 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.
