A Shenzhen resident surnamed Chen recently regretted refusing to spend a little money to get rid of white ants, after they seriously damaged more than 100 cake-shaped teas that had been preserved for more than 20 years.
Chen, a tea businessman, purchased the special cake-shaped Pu'er teas from Southwest China's Yunnan Province two decades ago and stored them at home to wait for better prices.
But this week, he found that all the teas had been seriously damaged by the ants. Chen said the direct economic loss was more than 1 million yuan (US$125,000).
