I can’t believe my eyes, the famous Fushoushan tea f i n a l l y available in my local sells-everything-corner shop!!!

Such great fortune in the start of this year 2021!

And here was me thinking I had to work hard to track down a can of this...

Those cans are easy to buy. Labels are the big deal! :D After the last 4 years, maybe "President" does not garner respect. :?:

I believe there were 5 grades of FSS. Maybe Bok found a 6th.

I have no doubts that this can is fake as they come, or maybe correctly said - the contents. Can may well be the real deal ;)

For one it lacks the official seal (which itself is not a guarantee either).

Still amazed by the audacity of whoever put it into that sales environment. Whoever buys it doesn’t deserve better - or doesn’t care anyways. Next to it where the always popular twin spout teapots :lol:

Funny thing is, just down the road there is a teashop who has the whole shabang in their window as well, tin in the red cardboard box and such... still no more convincing than the corner-market one :lol:

So much fuzz for a tea that is – even if real, already overpriced for what it is, just because of its name.

"President for Life" Foushoushan is worth the $ but very, very hard to find. It is so rare that even most experts don't know how the tins & labels look.
