Sri Lanka is famous for Ceylon tea right? But being a Sri Lankan I have never used a teabag to make tea despite drinking several cups of tea everyday. But for the British who introduced tea to us and who also religiously observe table manners, the teabag I believe is a essential part their preparation of a cup of tea.
So anyway, I came across a this story from Britain about a teabag worth more than 1.5 million Sri Lankan Rupees! Imagine spending so much for a thing like that!
The world's most expensive teabag has been created.The diamond teabag worth £7,500 has been made by Boodles jewellers to celebrate PG Tips 75th birthday.
The tea bag took three months to make has been hand-crafted using 280 diamonds.
Pete Harbour, spokesman for PG Tips said: "As it's our 75th birthday, we wanted to do something special to remind people just how much they love the great British cup of tea."
The tea bag will eventually be used as part of a prize draw to raise money for Manchester Children's Hospitals, a charity chosen by workers at the PG Tips factory in Trafford Park, Manchester.
