No scam, at least not for the Malawi hand crafted teas that I have
assisted in developing. The presence of six Malawi white teas on
Nothing But tea site has already been dealt with by Blue - see
http://www.nbtea.co.uk/acatalog/Wildcrafted_Teas.html But it helps
to use a site's Search Box if you fail to navigate. On Google try
"African White Teas" = 4 hits, and "Malawi White Teas" = 5 hits. You
will need to use the quotes for specific searching.
