Panda-suited Pickers

People dressed in panda costumes collect tea that has been fertilised using panda excrement. An Yashi, a college lecturer at Sinchuan University who is developing the tea, explains: Pandas have a very poor digestive system and only absorb about 30 per cent of everything they eat. That means their excrement is rich in fibres and nutrients. (Imaginechina / Rex Features)
