Organic Yaupon: full evidence for each claim below
Status as assessed Oct 30, 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.
Compostable / Recyclable / Biodegradable packaging
On the page: “Organic USA Grown Two green Arbor Teas compostable tea bags labeled small and large CatSpring”
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.
Regenerative Organic Certified
On the page: “additional sustainable certifications: Regenerative Organic Certified, Fair Wild, and Certified Authentic”
What it means: A certification that builds on organic with additional soil-health, animal-welfare and farmworker-fairness requirements.
Why TilliT doesn't verify it: Regenerative Organic Certified is run by the Regenerative Organic Alliance. TilliT checks the underlying Organic claim (see the badge section) but not the regenerative add-on yet.
How to check it yourself: Check the Regenerative Organic Alliance's certified-brand list.
FairWild
On the page: “certifications: Regenerative Organic Certified, Fair Wild, and Certified Authentic Produced”
What it means: A certification for sustainable and fair wild-collection of plant ingredients — run by the FairWild Foundation, distinct from fair-trade schemes for farmed crops.
Why TilliT doesn't verify it: TilliT does not query the FairWild registry yet; its fair-trade check covers Fairtrade International only.
How to check it yourself: Check the FairWild Foundation's certified-operator list.
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 product's own page states it is manufactured by "American Indians". US food-labelling rules (21 CFR 101.5) require this "name and place of business" line.
“ship free in USA Our Organic Yaupon comes to us from Cat Spring, Texas where it is wild harvested and certified Authentic Produced by American Indians.”
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 sourceThe product's own labelling states a country of origin of 'US'. Origin statements are regulated on-label claims, not third-party certifications.
“Organic Yaupon Sale price From $6 Caffeinated herb grown in the US with grassy, zesty lime notes Please Select Size: Small: 1 oz about 12 servings Large: 8 oz about 100 servings Quantity Decrease quantity for Organic Yaupon Increase quantity”
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 sourceThe 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 sourceNamed suppliers we could check

From CatSpring Yaupon's own site (Organic): The supplier page states that CatSpring Yaupon is Regenerative Organic Certified and USDA Organic (certified through CCOF), along with Fair Wild and Whole Kosher certifications, describing the company's yaupon sourcing and product line generally.
