Los Angeles – March 4, 2014 – ORGANIC INDIA, leader in organic herbal wellness teas and functional supplements, announced today its verifications from Non-GMO Project, confirming integrity of its organic herbs and commitment to wellness for people and planet. This new certification will be celebrated at Expo West 2014 in booth #2016 on March 7, 2014 along with product samplings, a close-up look at adaptogenic herbs and a musical performance by the brand’s ambassadors Avasa & Matty Love.



“Evolution is essential,” said Krishan Gupta, Global CEO, ORGANIC INDIA. “A higher standard of quality, purity and overall wellbeing has always been our ethos, and it’s wonderful to have our commitment to our farmers, our planet and our wellbeing verified by this elite organization. It’s an honor to be recognized, from our small farming villages in Northern India to the shelves at your local supermarket.”

A numerous amount of ORGANIC INDIA’s Tulsi-forward teas and herbal supplements (expect Ghee and Chyawanprash which are outside the scope of certification) have been certified as Non-GMO. This verification authenticates the integrity of ORGANIC INDIA seeds, herbs and products as natural, heritage strains.
