CUPPA BRIE?

French charged £6 for tea that tastes of cheese

- MARC WALKER

A TEA company is charging close to £6 for a cuppa covered in cheese.

Heytea's cheese tea is a wallet-busting €6.50 (£5.46) at its new pop-up café in Paris ahead of the Olympics.

The Chinese chain, known as the "Starbucks of the East", said the cheese-loving French were snapping up its pongy infusion.

It is made by blending 100% dairy cheese with whipping cream and salt - with the frothy mixture served on top of green tea.
