Nor can we forget the most expensive coffee in the world, which comes from the faeces of the civet. The price? About 90 euros. Or the most expensive French fries in the world, which are around 60 euros. Well, there is a tea that can only be tasted by those who are willing to pay 550 euros in a well-known London hotel.
