# Stash Tea Organic Breakfast Blend Black Loose Leaf Tea — 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.

Organic Breakfast Blend Black Loose Leaf Tea by Stash Tea — public trust assessment of 3 observed badge claim(s): Organic: Partially Supported by Public Evidence; Non-GMO: Limited Public Support; Fair Trade: Limited Public Support.

## Claims checked

### Organic

- **Status:** Preliminary — a person is still reviewing this (`preliminary`)
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Organic Breakfast Blend Black Tea Organic Breakfast Blend”
- **Certifier named:** Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database)
- **Safe citation wording:** Preliminary — awaiting TilliT review: Public materials show that Stash Tea presents this product as Organic, that the product page displays a recognized organic certification mark, and that the USDA Organic Integrity Database lists Yamamotoyama U.S.A. as certified, though that listing is company-level and not confirmed for this exact product. Batch-specific public evidence was not retrieved in this assessment, and the certifier record's listed item differs from the product page title, which requires human review to confirm product identity. This wording describes only what public sources state and does not represent verification by TilliT.
- **Re-verification due:** 2026-12-04
- **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:** The Quality Assurance International (via USDA Organic Integrity Database) product list names "Breakfast Blend Black Tea (Loose Tea)", which is the product family, not specifically "Organic Breakfast Blend Black Loose Leaf Tea"; no exact-item upgrade was made.
- **Limitation:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.

### Non-GMO

- **Status:** Limited Public Support (`public_corroboration_weak`)
- **Evidence strength:** 7/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Grounding The Stash Stamp Carefully Crafted Ingredients Non-GMO Certified Tea Master Blended Non-GMO Certified Tea”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Non-GMO claim with limited public support. 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:** 16/100
- **Claim observed on the page:** “Product tag: "organic & fair trade"”
- **Safe citation wording:** The product page displays a Fair Trade claim with limited public support. Specifically, the product page displays a recognized certification mark. 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:** 2026-11-29
- **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:** Not TilliT verified; assessment uses public sources only.
- **Limitation:** Evidence plan executed: 7 checks.
- **Limitation:** Self-review note: No direct check of any named fair-trade certifier's own public directory (e.g. Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade America, FLOCERT) has been attempted for Stash Tea, which is the only realistic public path to a stronger match for the named certification mark.

## 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.
