Tea fertilised with panda poo set to be the world's most expensive A special type of tea, grown using panda excrement as fertiliser, is set to become the most expensive tea in the world. An Yanshi, a lecturer at Sichuan University in China, believes his tea may fetch up to $78,000 a kilo. The Chinese academic has so far collected over five tonnes of panda faeces for the project. "Pandas have a very poor digestive system and only absorb about 30 percent of everything they eat. That means their excrement is rich in fibres and nutrients," Yanshi told Chinese media. Fertilising tea bushes with panda poo also may have health benefits for the drinkers of the final product, according to Yanshi. "Just like green tea, bamboo contains an element that can prevent cancer, and enhance green tea's anti-cancer effects, if it is used as fertiliser for the tea," he said. If tea fertilised with panda poo isn’t your thing, you can always save up to buy the world’s most expensive coffee, which is made from coffee beans eaten and excreted by a small mammal called a civet. |
