# Rishi Tea & Botanicals Tangerine Hibiscus | Organic Tea Sachets | Rishi Tea — 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)

Tangerine Hibiscus | Organic Tea Sachets | Rishi Tea by Rishi Tea & Botanicals — public trust assessment of 1 observed badge claim(s): Organic: 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:** 50/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Tangerine Hibiscus | Organic Tea Sachets | Rishi Tea Tangerine Hibiscus | Organic”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an organic claim and a recognized certification mark, and a certifier's public registry lists the brand as certified, but that listing is brand-level and was not confirmed for this specific product. Public evidence retrieved was brand- and company-level; batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. The claim's wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program's "organic" labeling category, which requires at least 95% organic content and may display the official organic seal.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **Limitation:** Claim text could not be reliably extracted (repeated/garbled pattern detected) — verify against the live product page.
- **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:** The Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Hibiscus", which is the product family, not specifically "Tangerine Hibiscus | Organic Tea Sachets | Rishi Tea"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

## Not claimed on this page

## 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.
