Panda poo tea about to hit the market

There's a new delicacy on the way in China... Panda poo tea.

According to the Calgary Herald a businessman is planning to use panda dung to grow organic green tea.

50 grams of the tea will sell for over $3,350. Three grams of the panda poo tea will make one cup of tea, which means one cup of tea will cost over $200.

"I just want to convey to the people of the world the message of turning waste into something useful, and the culture of recycling and using organic fertilisers," An Yanshi, the man behind the tea, said over the weekend.

Yanshi has promised to invest his profits into an environmental fund.
