Nine years ago, I wrote about kopi luwak, the super-expensive coffee made from beans that have been digested by Indonesian civets.
Now, tea drinkers have their own fecally-inspired beverage they can enjoy: panda poop tea that will sell for $35,000 a pound. The article refers says this tea will be like a green tea, but the truth is, it’s not really tea because the pandas are actually eating the leaves and shoots of the bamboo tree and not a camellia sinensis plant.
At $35,000, it sounds like a lot, but since you can resteep tea leaves, the per cup cost is not that bad. (That’s a joke only tea dorks will laugh at.)
One, two, three, yay for poop tea!
