Japan Times: Harrods to sell Sri Lankan green tea
Britain's Harrods Department Store Co. said it will launch Indian and Sri Lankan green tea through its outlets in Japan next Tuesday. Four types of Exclusive Green Tea will sell for 3,150 yen to 3,465 yen per 100 grams, it said. The green tea tastes closer to red tea rather than Japanese tea, Harrods said. Green tea has become popular in Britain, thanks to its healthy image, it said.

The type of customers that Harrods attracts in Japan tend to have far more disposable income then common sense (ie. little old bitties) so I can see it doing well.

I loooooove that direct translation mistake. I'm sure Harrods said it closer to "black tea", not red tea (which is a direct translation of the way Japanese and Chinese call black tea).
