Many people may be surprised by the fact that tea can be expensive at all: after all, this product is available in any supermarket for a small price.
However, true gourmets know: you won’t be able to find a quality drink in your local store.
Not everyone gets to try truly elite varieties, since their cost is considerably higher than expected.
What types of tea are considered the most expensive in the world
"Da Hong Pao"
In any tea shop you can find tea with a similar name, but this is absolutely not the tea we are talking about. The most expensive tea in the world was collected from just a few special bushes that are hundreds of years old.
Today, the collection has stopped altogether.
The remains of the legendary tea are kept for special occasions. They are given to high-ranking guests and partners. Also, some collectors managed to acquire this tea variety before it became impossible to buy.
It is sold only at auctions. The cost of a kilogram of the product can reach up to a million dollars.
"Black Dragon"
This tea variety is grown in Taiwan. Its price is also not affordable: a kilogram of the product will cost a quarter of a million dollars.
The cost is explained by the specifics of production and the small amount of raw materials themselves.
Therefore, this variety is one of the most unique.
