\"PandaPanda Tea, a new tea brand is launching with its first batch to hit hit shelves Spring 2012, is made from panda poo and costs roughly $2,000\/oz. An ounce of tea generally makes twelve cups of tea, averaging $167 per cup.<\/p>\n

Many of the world’s priciest teas in Asia are based on the ‘qi’, or energy, they impart on the drinker, explains the site Quora. A tea afficionado notes “This is hard to describe but some attempts of description include phrases like: `calming whilst heightening your senses’, `a rush of warmth through the body’, `headiness’, etc (depending on the tea).
