Tea enthusiasts recoil at enriching Palin

$560 tea ticket goes to multi-millionaire's $100K speaking fee

This tea is harvested exclusively with golden scissors and only from the top of the tree which is the tea bud. It's then sun dried and placed into closed containers to slightly heat the tea leaves so they can release the polyphenols that they contain and give a yellowish colour to the leaves and a very soft and flowery taste. The tea is then painted with 24 carat gold flakes which are considered very good for you, and give the tea a beautiful golden shimmer.
