The $2,500 Bottle of Green Tea
You could run to almost any supermarket and purchase a bottle of green tea for about a dollar, but that would be a huge mistake. Why not opt to spend a quarter million percent more for "super premium" green tea?
Packaged like a fine wine, Royal Blue Tea is offering a limited time, high-end green tea for an astounding $2,500 per bottle. Apparently the leaves are hand picked (or something like that) and presumably infused with about $2,499 worth of champagne and truffle oil. Otherwise we're assuming it would be hard to justify the outrageous price tag. However, if you're ready to shell out top dollar for a bottle of green tea and can navigate through a non-English website, you can find more information here.

Posted On: Monday, Dec. 14 2009 @ 9:23AMMagnificent ! How better to spend your earnings ? The question is... at what temperature is the tea best enjoyed ? It resembles a Gyokuro, and has been brewed to perfection, no doubt... but is it organic ???? Hmmm... visit www.greenboar.com and discover your own teas which you can brew !

Posted On: Thursday, Dec. 31 2009 @ 9:33PMAccording to the site the tea isn't actually brewed. It's soaked in natural spring water, that might be cold(I'm not sure about this), for 3 days for green or flower tea, and 6 for blue tea. Also, there's no anti-fermenting/anti-bacterial agents used. Nor is the water used heated. They use filtering to sanitize the water.
Posted On: Friday, Jan. 1 2010 @ 5:53AM$2500 for a bottle of green tea? My guess is that it also comes with a happy ending.
