Thomas Robinson imported leaf tea from abroad, then repackaged it and claimed it was grown in Perthshire.

For me the amazing thing about this story is not that some chancer shipped in a load of tea from elsewhere and repackaged it as Scottish, but that he kept the scam going for a decade or more and was only found out when the local council checked to see if he had a food handling licence.
