Virgin White tea?

For Sri Lanka’s Virgin White Tea, the first touch of skin is your lip
If a certain tea or coffee has a cult following across the world, there is bound to be a fascinating, bizarre, or stomach-churning story behind it. Whether it’s the Indonesian Kopi Luwak that is made from partially-digested coffee beans plucked from civet cat’s feaces, Chinese-origin panda poop tea enriched with panda dung or Oolong tea picked by monk-trained monkeys, the world’s rarest and most expensive tea and coffee varieties are either picked on a particular day, in a certain way or have poop or saliva going into them.
