Needless to say, the picture shows the most expensive tea in the Expo. It cost 68000000 Chinese dollars. The tea produced in 1953, packed as round column with 147cm long and weight around 36kg. In Chinese it called "千兩茶". Originally grown from Hunan Baishaxi, it is a kind of very high quality black tea. Tea dated from the '50 is so rare that some were carefully stored in the Palace Museum in China. I wish I had the chance to taste it.Now Baishaxi still produce tea, but not as big as "千兩茶". They make it smaller and lighter such as 1/10 as before or even in brick shape so that more ppl can enjoy that. (continue...)
