Advertising Disclosure

At Puncak Verde, we are committed to transparency in all our business practices, including how we present information about products, services, and partnerships. This Advertising Disclosure explains our approach to affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and advertising on our website.

We believe you have the right to know when content is influenced by commercial relationships, and we strive to maintain your trust through clear and honest disclosure.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We maintain transparency regarding any financial relationships that may influence the content on our website. Our primary mission is to connect international buyers with authentic Indonesian tea estates through reliable facilitation services. Any commercial relationships we maintain support this mission and are disclosed to you.

When we recommend estates, products, or services, our suggestions are based on genuine familiarity with the Indonesian tea industry, direct experience with estates, and understanding of quality standards—not solely on potential compensation.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

Estate Partnership Arrangements

Puncak Verde maintains ongoing relationships with West Java tea estates. These relationships may include:

  • •Commission-based arrangements when we facilitate successful sourcing connections
  • •Facilitation fees paid by estates for bringing qualified international buyers
  • •Service fees from buyers for coordination and documentation services
  • •Revenue sharing on private label development projects

These financial relationships allow us to provide our services while maintaining extensive estate connections. However, they do not influence which estates we recommend for specific requirements—our suggestions are based on suitability for your needs.

Service Provider Affiliations

We may have affiliate relationships with service providers relevant to tea importation, such as shipping companies, customs brokers, or quality testing laboratories. If we recommend these services and you engage them through our referral, we may receive a commission. We only recommend services we have used ourselves or that we believe offer genuine value.

Financial Transparency

When discussing potential sourcing arrangements, we clearly communicate our fee structure and any compensation we receive from estates or other parties. You will understand the complete cost picture before making commitments, including our facilitation role and associated fees.

Product and Estate Recommendations

Our Recommendation Approach

When we recommend specific estates or tea products:

  • •Recommendations are based on direct familiarity with estate operations and product quality
  • •We consider your specific requirements, budget parameters, and quality expectations
  • •Financial relationships with estates do not override suitability considerations
  • •We disclose when recommendations involve estates with which we have established partnerships

Authenticity Guarantee

We do not fabricate estate histories, exaggerate quality characteristics, or misrepresent product attributes to generate business. Our heritage documentation services are based on verifiable information, estate records, and authentic local knowledge. We maintain professional integrity even when it means acknowledging limitations or suggesting alternatives.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Content Labeling

If we publish sponsored content, paid promotions, or materials created in collaboration with specific estates or brands, such content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar designation. This ensures you can distinguish between independent content and content influenced by commercial arrangements.

Editorial Independence

When we produce sponsored content, we maintain editorial standards regarding accuracy and quality. Sponsors do not dictate content that conflicts with our professional assessment or misleads readers. We reserve the right to decline sponsorship arrangements that compromise our credibility or your trust.
