# Numi Tea Gunpowder Green (loose) — 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)

Gunpowder Green (loose) by Numi Tea — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Limited Public Support; 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:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 41/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Medium Within hours of being plucked, this whole leaf organic green tea is gently steamed and then rolled into small”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page shows an organic claim, and a certifier database lists the company behind the brand as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. A brand FAQ states all of the brand's products are certified organic, and one independent organisation published evidence relevant to the claim. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-29
- **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.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 12/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Ingredients Fair Trade Certified™ organic green tea Organic Non-GMO Halal Kosher Fair Trade Certified B Corporation Climate”
- **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.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-24
- **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.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 51/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “2 tsp., cool and pour over ice. Ingredients Fair Trade Certified™ organic green tea Organic Non-GMO Halal Kosher Fair”
- **Certifier named:** Fairtrade International (Fairtrade Finder)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a recognized Fair Trade certification mark and states the product is Fair Trade Certified. Public evidence retrieved is brand- and company-level, including a certifier listing the brand as certified and a brand FAQ stating suppliers are inspected for Fair Trade/Fair Labor practices; batch- or product-specific certification evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. This wording describes only what public sources show and does not confirm certification for this exact product.
- **Re-verification due:** 2027-10-27
- **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:** 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.

## 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.
