# Arbor Teas Matcha Whisk Stand — 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)

Matcha Whisk Stand by Arbor Teas — 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:** 40/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Cups Infusers Storage Accessories Matcha Iced Tea ORGANIC TEA Black Fair Trade Unflavored Flavored Decaf All”
- **Certifier named:** Global Organic Alliance, Inc (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays an "organic" claim, and the brand states it sources certified organic teas and is certified by Global Organic Alliance; the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists "Arbor Teas" as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this specific product. 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 seal. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-02
- **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 Global Organic Alliance, Inc (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.

### Fair Trade

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 10/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Storage Accessories Matcha Iced Tea ORGANIC TEA Black Fair Trade Unflavored Flavored Decaf All Black Tea Green Fair”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade 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:** 2026-12-13
- **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: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: The bundle checked Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, and Fair Trade Federation, but never checked FLOCERT (the actual certifier behind Fairtrade International marks) or Fair for Life, which are the registries most likely to list a tea company's fair-trade certification.

## 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.
