Organic Assam Black Tea: full evidence for each claim below
Status as assessed Oct 28, 2026. This link always opens the latest result.
Everything the product page claims — including claims TilliT does not verify. TilliT assesses six badge types; anything else is listed here so you can see the full picture and check it yourself.
TilliT ran a full public-evidence check on this claim — see the badge-by-badge section above for what it found.
Organic
See the Organic result above.
This is a real certification or claim type, but TilliT doesn't verify it yet. It is shown here so you know the product makes the claim — not as a judgement either way. Check it yourself using the note next to each one.
Kosher
On the page: “Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth Kosher certified by the Star-K A new initiative in”
What it means: A kosher-certifying agency has reviewed the product against Jewish dietary law, usually with on-site rabbinical supervision.
Why TilliT doesn't verify it: Kosher certification is granted by independent agencies (OU, OK, Star-K, KOF-K and others). TilliT doesn't verify the kosher claim itself. (It does read the Orthodox Union's product data on some checks, but only as an indirect signal for a dairy-free claim — never to confirm kosher status.)
How to check it yourself: Look for the certifying agency's symbol on the package (a letter mark such as OU, OK, Star-K or KOF-K), then search that agency's online product database for the brand.
TilliT also looked for gluten-free, allergen-free, vegan, non-gmo, fair trade claims. None appear on this product's page, so there was nothing to verify.

Supply chain & sourcing
Who makes and moves this product, and where it comes from, from public sources only. It's background context, not evidence for or against any badge claim.
The brand publishes a page about its own suppliers / sourcing. This is the company's own account of its supply chain — worth reading, but not an independently verified supplier list.
What this means: This is the seller's own statement about where the product comes from. It is useful context, but it has not been independently checked.
Open sourceA company matching 'none' has filed a modern slavery / supply-chain due-diligence statement in the UK government's public registry. Such a statement describes the steps a company says it takes to check its own supply chain.
What this means: The company has filed the modern-slavery statement that UK law requires of larger businesses. Having a filing on record is a compliance step; the statement's wording is written by the company. It speaks to labour practices (most relevant to a Fair Trade claim), not to what is in the product.
Open sourceA legal entity with a matching name, 'EQUAL EXCHANGE, INC.', is registered in the Global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system, headquartered in West Bridgewater, US (status: ACTIVE).
What this means: A registered legal entity with this name exists, and its record shows where it is based. TilliT matched it by name only, so compare its location with the product's own label before treating it as the company behind this product. It is not a check of any badge claim.
Open sourceUS EPA facilities whose registered name matches 'Equal Exchange' have 1 record(s) in the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, including 0 inspection(s).
What this means: The manufacturer's facilities show up in the US EPA's environmental compliance database by name, but have no inspections on record there. This is general company background and does not bear on any badge claim.
