Sip on This: World's Most Expensive Afternoon Tea

Feeling flush? Do the posh English thing and while away the afternoon with a tea set specially created by the venerable Cliveden House at Berkshire. Billed as the most expensive afternoon tea yet, the spread for two, at £550 per couple, was conceived by executive head chef Carlos Martinez, and includes a veritable feast of rare and beautiful ambrosia.

There’re exquisite white truffles at £2,500 per kilo, Beluga Caviar at £4,000 per kilo and Da Hong Pao Tea, harvested from thousand year old leaves and valued at over £2,000 per kilogram. You’ll also be treated to flutes of Dom Perignon Rose, as well as a luscious, gold-leafed cake made with the dearest chocolate in the world, Amedi Porcelana. Wash it all down with an earthy, bitter shot of Kopi Luwak, the famous civet cat coffee, at £50 per cup.

For the record, here’s the full menu:
