Sitting down and treating yourself to a cup of tea is one of life's greatest pleasures.
It is a drink that is beloved around the globe from the UK to India, China, Taiwan and Japan. But while you wouldn't normally consider the price when fishing out a bag from your kitchen cupboards, there are a few types of tea that would significantly strain your bank account!
