What is on the label?
Primary claim: "organic, fair trade, regeneratively grown"
What the claims cover
- USDA Organic
- Fair Trade Certified
- Regenerative Organic Certified
- B Corp Certified
What is still missing
- Single-use glass bottle adds weight and energy.
Worth knowing
- The Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) claim is the real deal here — it means the land is actively improving, not just sustaining. That's a huge win.
Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The brand works directly with growers on regenerative practices, addressing the largest part of the footprint at the source.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
Smart swaps and tips
- Look for ROC Gold or Silver to find the deepest land regeneration.
- Refillable options cut down on packaging entirely — a great next step.
People and health
Social: Fair Trade certification means growers receive a fair price and community premium, verified by a third party.
Health: Simple, organic ingredients with no added sugars or artificial flavors, keeping it clean.
