14 DAY TRIAL // China makes sure nothing is wasted while all its resources are used and reused, time after time. Same goes for Panda poo, that is supposed to contribute a great deal to the manufacturing process of one of the worlds' most sophisticated and expensive kinds of tea.
It appears that Pandas are very delicate creatures, and their digestive system is as fragile as they are. Since it can process only 30% out of everything they eat, it is explainable that their excrements are rich in nutrients, according to An Yanshi, a lecturer at Sichuan University who intends to get rich by exploiting the secret formula.
An firmly believes in the potential of panda excrement, stating that its innovative product, once commercialized on a large scale will bring approximately 440,000 yuan for each kilogram ($69,000 for every kilogram/ $36,000 per pound)
The tea is not only a high-class treat, it is also supposed to fight cancer in an effective manner, due to its bamboo-based fertilizer. Just like green tea, bamboo contains an active element which, included in our daily diet, might have the power to slow down or even stop cancer's evolution, according to the future tea manufacturer.
Tea grown from panda excrements seems to have a different flavor, one that will definitely be experienced only by wealthy people, taking into consideration its exorbitant price. An shares a part of the secret: its taste is mature and somehow nutty.
Even if the tea hasn't been launched on the market yet, An isn't wasting any time, as the manufacturer just finished gathering 5 tonnes of natural fertilizer. Somehow this resource will not reach its limits in the near future, since the staff from panda breeding center in Chengdu have a significant supply of up to 200 tons of excrements ready for delivery every year
As we speak, Ann is ready to prepare his first cup of tea, hoping that buyers from all parts of the Globe will be eager to taste the magic potion.
Conservationists can breathe at ease: the life of this creature will be preserved from now on, as long as their poop will feed what appears to be the world's most expensive tea.
