World's Most Expensive Tea Grown


CHINESE Entrepreneur An Yanshi to produce the world's most expensive tea - panda poop. The former calligraphy teacher has purchased 11 tonnes of excrement from a panda breeding centre to fertilise a tea crop in the mountains of Sichuan province in southwestern China, home to the black and white bears.
An Yanshi will harvest the first batch of tea leaves this spring and it will be the "world's most expensive tea" at almost 220,000 yuan ($34,000) for 500 grams.
An Yanshi hopes to make money from the tea, which he has planted on just over 2.5 acres (one hectare) of land, his main mission is to convince the world to protect the environment and replace chemical fertilisers with animal feces - before it is too late.
