The next big thing in gourmet tea is panda poo green tea. Now, we know what you are thinking, another shit story from Newsnibbles.
Well, it is true that our recent scoops have seemed more poo oriented than perhaps is usual for a cutting edge news reporting organisation. That said, we do not create the poo, we just report on it.
So, in random news this week, Professor An Yashi of Sinchuan University in China has won a patent for his own special blend of panda poo tea. This new tea will cost a mere £51,000 per kilo, and apparently contains antioxidants and assists with digestion. The professor is quoted as saying:
“Pandas have a very poor digestive system and only absorb about 30% of everything they eat. That means their excrement is rich in fibres and nutrients. Just like green tea, bamboo contains an element that can prevent cancer, green tea’s anti-cancer effects, if it is used as fertiliser for the tea.”
The tea is said to taste nutty, and interestingly enough have a distinctive aroma when brewing.
Generally, in the Newsnibbles staff canteen, we tend not to fertilise our tea, preferring instead to drink whilst it is still in a virgin state. We do provide hazelnut syrup for those who prefer their tea or coffee to have a nutty flavour, but do not have the budget to invest in panda poo tea at this stage. We will buy some bamboo, with which people can stir their drink, which will hopefully have a similar effect to when it is post panda digestion, but who knows?
