Chinese tea has been revered for centuries as a beverage that has excellent taste and healing properties. Depending on the variety, the pricing of Chinese tea is also dictated.
Some varieties of tonic are available in such limited quantities that their cost is literally “outrageous”.

The rest is sorted out by wealthy buyers who have previously placed an order for it. The price of tea starts from $ 700,000 per kilogram. If the yield of the plant is not large enough, the cost becomes even higher.
