Meghan Markle’s ‘wellness’ coffee tied to Chinese state accused of genocide

Meghan Markle‘s money is behind a trendy instant coffee brand that she touts for its ethically sourced ingredients, but the company has previously received tens of thousands of pounds of oat-milk powder from a business in a Chinese state accused of genocide, a new report claims.
Clevr Blends’ onetime oat-milk supplier — Xinjiang Haiyan International Trade — was located within four miles of suspected detention centers, including an alleged re-education site, according to The Daily Mail and a company rep.
Markle announced the endeavor as her first investment in private life in December, as she and husband Prince Harry severed ties with Buckingham Palace.
The Duchess of Sussex even got Oprah Winfrey to promote Clevr Blends, which makes powdered “superlatte†mixes.

Not a "superlatte" kind of guy (I like coffee and I like it black), but given her grifter status, I'm glad to know the brand to avoid.
