Well, let me tell you... I have information that I can't share here
from some searches I did initially on this "company" that are quite
telling. On top of that the response that this person made made some
claims that are false, which is illegal.

There are no laws stating someone can't sell an overpriced product,
there are laws against proper business registration and conduct. There
are also laws against mirepresenting your product.

The ukelele stuff and the fact that he claims to be a toaist preist
(under a number of different concentrations which change in everyone
of his posts) were just for fun and to let this guy know that I knew
who he was. This is a scam, and I have enough respect for the others on
this NG to try to prevent them from being taken (not that any I know
would have been, but maybe newcomers).

You are also wrong on another point. No one here is asking for *FREE*
samples, we are asking for a sample selection TO PURCHASE so that _we_
may decide for ourselves if they are legit and if the product is really
worth the prices stated. Please watch when you jump to conclusions
without all the facts. If they are a legit dealer, they will be happy
to work out an arrangement, when they are not this is an instant
giveaway. Between the folks on this NG we spend more on tea than most
household's make each year. I know that this year alone I have about
$400-500 personally in my tea, and this has been a slow year for me and
it is only half over. Multiply that by the lot of us and the few who
eclipse even my expenditures and you will see it is about the wisest
business decision to offer a sample selection at a fair price if you
stand by your product and want our business.

Sorry for the confusion, and I hope that clears it up.
