An Yanshi, Panda Tea Brewer
Chinese entrepreneur An Yanshi, 41, a former calligraphy teacher, says his organic tea - which is fertilised with panda dung - is a healthy and smooth natural brew; his 'Panda Tea' is set to go on sale for about $200 (£130) a cup - setting the new world record for the Most expensive cup of tea.
An Yanshi, a Chinese entrepreneur in the southwestern city of Chengdu, has come up with a novel use for panda dung. He is using it as an organic fertiliser to grow tea leaves - and plans to sell the drink at around $200 per cup.
The first batch of panda dung tea will be sold in lots of about 1.75 ounces for $3,500 each, a price An said makes it the world's most expensive tea. Most people use about a tenth of an ounce of tea per cup.
An defended the steep price, saying he would channel profits from the initial batches into an environmental fund. Future batches would be cheaper, he added.
