What "Made in Peru" really means
Every blend is blended in Peru. The pouch also carries the legal country-of-origin mark, “Made in Peru”. Here is what that line does and does not mean.
The blends are produced in Peru and imported to the US. The recipes are blended there, the pouches are filled there, and they arrive here from there.
The camu camu is from the Amazon; so is the vanilla. Cusco tea and Villa Rica cardamom are grown in Peru. Everything else is sourced globally and blended in Peru. Three of them carry the origin in the name on the panel: Cusco tea, Villa Rica cardamom, Amazonian vanilla.
What we don’t claim yet
- Farm-level detail. Named growers, specific altitudes, harvest dates: we publish that level of detail when we can verify it, and at the moment we can’t.
- Certifications. The pouches carry no USDA Organic or Fair Trade marks. What the organic seal actually verifies, and what it costs a small grower, is worth understanding either way: we wrote it up.
What is verified now
- Every ingredient, named in full. Boldo, black mint, guanábana, camu camu, Butterfly Pea Flower, Amazonian vanilla, lemon balm, Cusco green tea, Villa Rica cardamom. The panel is the complete recipe.
- What each plant has meant where it is used. Mate de boldo is a real after-meal custom; the black mint is simply a peppermint, named plainly.
- No extracts, no flavor agents. The blends contain what the panel says they contain.
