A bush of”golden tea” worth more than gold in China
Next year's entire harvest from a 410-year-old tea tree was bought for 600,000 yuan (92,000 USD) at an auction in Hunan Province on Wednesday.
The tree is 4.5 meters high and is located in Baojing County's Huangjin (“Gold”) Village, where over 2,000 tea trees date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The tree, the oldest, is the only living plant on the province's intangible cultural heritage list. Leaves are harvested only once a year, in April, when the next year's harvest is auctioned off. The tree produces about half a kilogram of “golden tea” each year. (MTI)
