Genuine 1967 Brick? What are the odds?

Fu is truly bottom of the barrel stuff. I don't think age helps,

I would have agreed with you before last week. I have some fuzhuan laying around from several years ago. I think it was from a tea book club, and I was trying to approximate Tibetan butter tea with it. So I pulled out this--Hunan Baishaxi, I think it was called--looking for something low-pressure to brew carelessly for the cold weather. Darned if it didn't have some nice aged taste, the kind I buy aged oolong for. Don't tell my friends, I'm going to surprise them with it. I didn't have much aged oolong experience when I bought it, so I wouldn't have known if I'd drank it immediately. Not that I'm going to start scooping up fuzhuan--I have another specimen that I'm sure is still swill, looks like a rock-hard Kit-Kat or something.

Best case scenario, it's a genuinely old fuzhuan with hilarious tickets attached to it... But in such cases there's hardly ever a best scenario.

Sort of like the best case scenarios that go through your mind in a casino.

"Now, if I am lucky, I could win millions of dollars!" But, rarely are any of us that lucky.

Very accurate simile. ^^ (Can you believe I only got the 13 B.D. sample two days ago?)
