Is teaforteonline.shop a scam?

This was a scam. The site is now gone.

Fake Tea Forté store selling gourmet whole leaf teas

This site copies Tea Forté's online store of gourmet whole leaf teas, but it's part of a known scam network, and the real Tea Forté store is at teaforte.com. Stores like this are unlikely to deliver the real product, and may use card details typed at checkout for nefarious purposes.

Reasons for concern

  • Copies a real company's store under another address

    The contact email on teaforteonline.shop is at teaforte.com, which belongs to Tea Forté. Tea Forté does not run this copy.

  • Part of a network of thousands of copied stores

    Same kit and hosting as thousands of other copied stores, and teaforteonline.shop is already on HaGeZi's public threat list.

  • Every price cut by 65%

    Presentation Box Herbal Retreat is $14.70 instead of $42.00, Presentation Box Lotus is $14.70 instead of $42.00, and One Pound Loose Tea Pouch African Solstice is $15.75 instead of $45.00.

  • Reviews written by the kit, not by customers

    Five-star quotes such as 'The pyramid infusers are stunning and the Earl Grey has a sophisticated, smooth finish every time' are signed Elena R. and Marcus D., signatures that appear on thousands of other copied stores.

  • Template text left in place

    The page still carries the sample address john@example.com, left over from the store template.

  • The site has since disappeared

    When we checked on 23 September 2026, the web address no longer led anywhere.
