If teabagging like The Queen is your thing, then you're in luck.

A very fancy-schmancy hotel opposite Buckingham Palace is offering teapotheads the opportunity to drink the world's most expensive tea.

Produced in the highlands of Sri Lanka, 'Golden Tips' is hand-picked by expert tea-pluckers and sundried on a velvet cloth, which turns the buds from silver to gold.

 

"With white glove service, this delicate tea is weighed with precision at The Rubens using golden scales; each tip is placed into the silver teapot individually with golden tweezers."

Not only is it served by a magician with tweezers you also get a velvet box, "The tea, which is showcased in a mahogany box lined with velvet, is infused with still mineral water to produce an extraordinary liquor and a smooth, light and mellow texture, with hints of fruity notes."

We'll stick with The Barry's and Lyons lads.

The Muireann O'Connell show is with Mrs Doyle on this one:
