# Numi Tea Chamomile Lemon — 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)

Chamomile Lemon by Numi Tea — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Certification Match Found; Non-GMO: 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:** Certification Match Found (`public_certification_match_found`)
- **Evidence strength:** 77/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “with Australian lemon myrtle leaves for a sweet organic brew that imparts lingering calm. Choose Size (18”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** A public certification record from Quality Assurance International (via the USDA Organic Integrity Database) lists "Numi Inc, PBC" as Certified, and a brand FAQ states that all of Numi's products are certified organic; a brand help article also notes organic sourcing from a specific tea estate, though it does not name the Chamomile Lemon product. The product page displays an organic claim, but no document specific to this product or batch was retrieved, and the certifier's listing is at company level rather than for the exact package or lot. This wording describes publicly available records only and does not confirm certification of the specific item in hand.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Certified™ organic chamomile, organic lemon myrtle Organic Non-GMO Halal Kosher Fair Trade Ingredient Climate Neutral”
- **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, company-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. Non-GMO is accurate for this product, but none of its listed ingredients (e.g. corn, soy, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, papaya, eggplant, pineapple, zucchini, potato, or animal-derived inputs such as meat, dairy, or egg) are among the crop types or inputs with a commercially available genetically modified/GMO-fed counterpart (TilliT uses the US list, which approves more such crops than most markets) — so this claim may not be a meaningful distinction for this specific product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 6 checks.
- **Limitation:** This product's organic certification is independently confirmed, and USDA / EU / Canada organic rules prohibit GMOs — so the organic certification already rules out GMO ingredients, even though a separate Non-GMO Project record was not found.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 52/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “2 tea bags, cool and pour over ice. Ingredients Fair Trade Certified™ organic chamomile, organic lemon myrtle Organic Non”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a recognized Fair Trade certification mark and states "Fair Trade Certified™" ingredients, and a certifier lists the brand as certified at the brand/company level. Public evidence retrieved was brand- and company-level; product- and batch-specific certification evidence for this exact product was not retrieved in this assessment. Independent research notes general limitations in fair-trade premium tracking below the cooperative/plantation level, which is an industry-wide observation and not a finding about this product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-10-27
- **Limitation:** The fair-trade mark shown on this product is Fair Trade USA, but the only registry TilliT can search for this claim is Fairtrade International — a different, separately-run certification scheme. This scheme publishes no searchable public directory, so its certification can't be confirmed or ruled out from public data.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add.

## 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.
