How Certification Works
Organic Certification
An organic certificate belongs to the producing operator, not to the trader who ships the tea. Here is how we handle that, and what we will show you before a lot is described as certified.
We do not hold organic certificates ourselves
An organic certificate belongs to the producing operator — the garden or the processor — not to the trader who ships the tea. Under EU Regulation 2018/848 that identity stays with the certified operator; it is not passed along by association. A certificate also has a scope: a defined list of products, from a defined area, for a defined period. It does not automatically cover everything a garden sells.
What we publish before calling a lot certified
The certificate holder, the certificate number, the issuing control body, the validity dates, and a link to that control body's public register — so you can check it at source rather than take our word for it. We do not publish redacted certificate images: you cannot verify them, which makes them worth nothing.
Why this page lists nothing today
We do not currently list any tea as certified-origin, because we do not yet hold a current certificate that names the operator and covers that specific tea. That is a documentation gap on our side, not a statement about how these gardens farm. If certification is a requirement for your programme, tell us which teas you are looking at and we will go back to the producing operator for the paperwork.
