    News: Sri Lanka has entered the Guinness World Records after the New Vithanakande Tea Factory achieved recognition for producing the world’s most expensive tea. The factory secured the record with its premium Ceylon Black Tea (FFExSp), which was sold in Japan for Rs. 252,500 per kilogram

    Guinness World Records: Puer Hong Yin Yuan Cha which is grown in China's Yunnan province, is sold at £15,000 (US$22,507) for a 12oz.

    What is this? Maybe typo error? Also, unable to see at GWR's official site!?

    Ceylon Black Tea sold for Rs. 252,500 per kilogram, but China tea sold for (US$22,507) for a 12oz which is about Rs. 6,812,000 per 0.340 kg. Maybe the actual record should be something else. Also, I don't see the Sri Lanka record at the official website! of the Guinness?
