# Davidson's Organics Decaffeinated Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) — 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:** Davidson's Organics - **Product:** Decaffeinated Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) - **Sold at:** davidsonstea.com - **Product page:** https://davidsonstea.com/products/decaf_earl_grey_loose_leaf - **Assessment ID:** pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f - **Assessed:** 2026-10-27 - **Last reviewed:** n/a - **Review mode:** Not final · review pending ⚠️ At least one claim here is **preliminary** — a person is still reviewing it; see the per-claim status. - **Methodology version:** 2026.10.4 - **Canonical page:** https://tillit.world/p/pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f ## Overall (safe to quote) Decaffeinated Earl Grey (Loose Leaf) by Davidson's Organics — public trust assessment of 2 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; 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:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`) - **Claim observed on the page:** “Trade Certified Blends: Fair Trade Certified Blends Organic Certified: Organic Certified Product Options Package” - **Certifier named:** Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) - **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Davidson's Organics publicly presents this product as Organic and some public evidence supports the claim, but the evidence scope is incomplete. Specifically, a certifier lists this brand as certified, but not this specific product, and 1 independent organisation published evidence relevant to this claim. Public evidence found is brand-level, company-level, product family-level, product-level. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment. An independent registry lists the company behind this claim as certified, but that listing is company-level, not confirmed for this exact product. This claim's own wording corresponds to the USDA National Organic Program (US)'s 'organic' labeling category (requires at least 95% organic content; may display the official organic seal). - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **Limitation:** Generic certifier-directory search skipped: a structured Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) match already resolved this badge with higher confidence than a text-directory probe could add. - **Limitation:** The Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Earl Grey", which is the product family, not specifically "Decaffeinated Earl Grey (Loose Leaf)"; no exact-item upgrade was made. - **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:** 19/100 - **Claim observed on the page:** “Sale Sold out SKU: R9078 Decaffeinated: Decaffeinated Fair Trade Certified: Fair Trade Certified Fair Trade Certified Blends” - **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark, and 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. Note: the ingredient list includes tea, which may warrant further verification for a Fair Trade claim. Note: the product page's text mentions coffee (not found in a structured ingredient list), which may warrant further verification for a Fair Trade claim. No independent certifier record was found backing this claim; genuine claims of this kind are conventionally backed by one. - **Re-verification due:** 2026-11-26 - **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's site but never tried the brand's own stated certifier 'TransFair USA' (the legacy name for Fairtrade America) via Fairtrade America's registry, which is the most direct path to a stronger match for this specific claim. ## Not claimed on this page Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free, Vegan, Non-GMO. ## Machine-readable versions - JSON report: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f - Schema.org JSON-LD: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f/structured-data.json - Compare by claim: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f/compare?claim= - Change history: https://tillit.world/api/pta/public/product/pta_b177e9dc9700418e871b5632970d318f/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.
