China’s Dahong Pao tea, which is worth Rs 12 lakh per kg, is the most expensive tea in the world. It is grown in the Wui mountain range and comes from only some special mother plants.

Highlights
- The price of Dahong Pao tea is Rs 12 crore per kg.
- This tea is grown in China’s Wui mountain range.
- Dahong Pao tea is also called “liquid gold”.
Dahong Pao is an Olong Tea, which is grown in the valleys of the Wui mountains of China. Its special fun is in its aging ‘Mother Plants’, which are hundreds of years old. The leaves of these trees grow in a completely natural way and are broken by hand. Then these leaves are dried in a special way, which makes its taste dark and aromatic. After 2006, the government prohibited the breaking of the leaves from these old trees, which made this tea even more rare. This is the reason that today its price is touching the sky.
Drinking this tea is not a matter of the common man, but still tea lovers around the world have a desire to take it at least once in life. Some hotels and special tea ceremonies have sampling, where thousands of rupees are charged for one teaspoon of tea. Dahong Pao is not just a drink, but a cultural heritage, historical heritage and the identity of luxury. Drinking it is not only a taste experience, but is a journey that connects you with history, tradition and nature. If you ever get a sip of this, then understand that you have gained a precious experience in life.
