TOKYO -- While the Japanese no longer drink traditional green tea as much as they used to, makers are now exporting an ultrahigh-class version overseas.
On Jan. 28, at the beginning of the weeklong Chinese New Year holiday, a Japanese tea maker began selling 750-milliliter bottles of green tea online in Singapore and Hong Kong. A single bottle has a price tag of, amazingly, 25,000 Singapore dollars ($17,768).
