most expensive mushroom in the world

The matsutake, or mattake, mushroom is costly since of its fewness and probably the most expensive mushroom in the world. However its historic occurrence projected it was nearly synonymous with autumn in Japan; the introduction of a pest that kills the trees under which the mushroom grows has triggered a intense decrease in the quantity of matsutake mushrooms. A method for agricultural the matsutake has yet to be established, which means the absence of trees from which to yield these mushrooms logically is a serious drawback for the species.

world's most expensive tea

TWG makes Singapore's most famous tea, and I had the good fortune of attending the opening day of their ION Orchard tea shop, where you can sample 400 teas from their 800-plus tea collection and purchase not only tea, but macaroons and tea accessories, as well.

Naturally, as a Luxist writer, I went straight for the gold -- the Yellow Gold Tea Buds (above), that is. Tea number T601 is not only TWG's, but the world's most expensive tea. Why? Because it's difficult to get -- and painted with actual gold.

I spoke for a bit with TWG tea connoisseur Alexandre Mallochet (his hand is pictured) about the tea and why it is so valuable -- $150 Singapore for 50 grams (that's about $105.71 -- and a typical teabag is about 2 grams, so that's 25 cups of tea).

To start with, it's only harvested on one mountain, one day per year. "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," said Mallochet. The tea is then painted with 24 carat gold flakes which, in Asia, are considered very good for you, and give the tea a beautiful golden shimmer. Mallochet claims that the gold provides nutrition, as well -- it's a mineral, after all.

"It's the tea of the Emperors of China and it is still today very complicated to find some. TWG can access to this tea thanks the privileged relationships we cultivated through the years of sourcing tea plantations worldwide."

At this time, the tea is not available online, so you'll have to find a shop near you or go to Singapore to find some. You'd better hope the dollar keeps rising!

Even in this economy, tea, for the most part, is one area where consumers continue to go gourmet. For more information check out Daily Finance's recent piece on gourmet foods still selling well.

most expensive sandwitch in world

The club sandwich has long been a favorite of sandwich lovers, lunchtime diners, and even royalty since the late nineteenth century. A modern and more expensive version of the club sandwich was just created in Berkshire, England by James Parkinson, the Executive Head Chef for the von Essen collection.
Parkinson wanted to refurbish the club sandwich after traveling around the world and noticing the sandwich on almost every hotel menu he saw. He wanted to create a club worthy of a five star hotel stay and at the same time include the very finest ingredients for a truly unique sandwich eating experience.

Costing £100 ($197 USD), the recently launched “von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich” is now the world’s most expensive sandwich. This club has many culinary delights and surely will not disappoint even your most discriminating “foodie”. We should note that you can’t eat the expensive sandwich anywhere but at the Cliveden’s Waldo Restaurant in Berkshire, which boasts a Michelin Star, one of the most distinguished culinary ratings.
If you think your local deli has a good club wait until you hear this sandwich’s ingredients. The most expensive club sandwich is proudly made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams.
The extremely rare ham is air-cured for nearly 30 months and comes from a black-footed pig, with the poulet de Bresse being a well-known delicacy in its own right. The 10 grams of white truffles on the sandwich provide a rich taste that compliments the sandwich’s flavors immensely.
“The Platinum Club sandwich is made from the very finest ingredients and the taste is simply sublime. It’s a sandwich that lives-up to the sumptuous setting of Cliveden and its magnificent culinary pedigree.” Notes chef James Parkinson.
