Certified Organic Cultivation
When cultivating and producing organic teas and coffees, no artificial
fertilizers or pesticides a.o. may be used. The EU regulation (EC) No 834/2007
and the Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 establish a uniform basis for the
cultivation, processing, storage, labeling, and sale of organically produced
foods. Starting on January 1, 2022, the new organic base regulation (EU)
2018/848 came into effect, introducing adapted rules concerning suitable organic
flavors, indications of source, and more. Flavored organic teas and coffees may
now only be made with organic flavors, natural flavors of the 95:5 (weight%)
category, or essential oils.
With the Organic Equivalency Arrangement,
the USDA and the European Commission acknowledge compatibility of each other‘s
organic certifications (USDA & EU organic system), meaning that the US
allows EU organic agricultural products to be sold as organic in the US
market.
However, displaying the USDA organic logo after repacking or
re-labeling using the different categories of description requires a USDA
certification.
In the United States, the following categories of organic
description are permitted:
1. 100% Organic: Products
made entirely from certified organic ingredients, including organic
flavoring.
2. "Made with Organic Ingredients" (95:5
Principle): Products that contain at least 95% organic substances. Up to 5% by
weight from natural sources is allowed.
3. 70% Organic:
Products containing at least 70% organic ingredients.
