Ginger Rising: full evidence for each claim below
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. This assessment ran the identical automated methodology whether or not this merchant has ever worked with TilliT.

- What is this?
Compostable / Recyclable / Biodegradable packaging
On the page: “Plant Based Sachet Zero Microplastics Recyclable Packaging Details Preparation Ingredients”
What it means: A claim about what happens to the packaging after use.
Why TilliT doesn't verify it: Some of these are certified (e.g. BPI / TÜV OK Compost / How2Recycle) and some are unqualified marketing. TilliT doesn't check the certification schemes yet.
How to check it yourself: Look for a certifier's mark (BPI, OK Compost, How2Recycle) and check your local facilities accept it.
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 seller's own informationProduct page labelling text
The product's own labelling states a country of origin of 'Eastern Australia'. Origin statements are regulated on-label claims, not third-party certifications.
“Organic Lemon Myrtle Australian Botanical Organic Lemon Myrtle is grown in Eastern Australia and the evergreen bush can be cultivated multiple times per year.”
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 source - The seller's own informationProduct page labelling text
The product's own labelling carries USDA establishment code '1949'. Establishment / plant / packer codes identify the facility that made or packed the product and can be resolved in a public directory.
“Three clear tea bags with white strings and cream labels reading 'SMITH TEAMAKER EST. 1949' are arranged on a rustic dark wood surface.”
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.
Look this USDA establishment number up in the FSIS Meat, Poultry and Egg Product Inspection Directory (fsis.usda.gov/inspection/establishments) to identify the plant.
Open source - Government-hosted recordEPA ECHO (facility compliance history)
US EPA facilities whose registered name matches 'Smith Teamaker' 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.
