It certainly is promotional - a search for "hotfortea" and "Ineeka"
shows that.

A request to my friends on this news group: Please consider staying away
from such fraudsters.

This past Tuesday I was at Swim Cafe in Chicago for an Ineeka Tea
Tasting. I think I have a new favorite tea. Ineeka Tea was founded in
2005 however the Goel family has been growing tea 1861. The family has
about 12,000 acres in India and Ineeka in Chicago, where the company
has it's headquarters, gets regular shipments to package for the
American market.

This looks a whole lot like a promotional puff piece. It really does
look sleazy when vendors post fake ads here pretending to be satisified
customers.

I will say that most of the Inkeeka products aren't tea at all. In fact,
the only actual tea of theirs that our local grocery carries is their
Darjeeling.

The Darjeeling is okay. It's a little more grassy than I would like, but
it does taste like a real Darjeeling even if it's not in the same league
as the Rohini second flush or the stuff Lochan is selling.

The silly metal boxes and overpriced bags are a problem, though, and the
goofy self-supporting bag would be fine for commercial food service use
but only fit into a limited number of cups and won't fit into a teapot.

It's not bad stuff, and I have bought it occasionally because sometimes I
like having the bags when I travel, but it's pheneomenally expensive for
what it is.
