A notorious figure in the tea industry known as the 'Father of Tea Leaf Live Streaming' was caught selling Vietnamese tea mixed with artificial flavors, deceiving consumers by labeling it as expensive Taiwanese high-altitude tea. Despite previous legal actions resulting in a light sentence, he resumed his fraudulent activities, selling 3 pounds for 1,000 yuan under false pretenses. Authorities have cracked down on such fraudulent practices, with 15 illegal operators being apprehended, and efforts have been made to curb the sale of counterfeit Taiwanese tea. However, complaints have resurfaced post-crackdown, indicating a resurgence of dishonest tea merchants in the industry.
