This is what my box of jasmine tea at work says on the side:

A SPECIALLY SELECTED OF BUDS AND YOUNG LEAVES OF TEA PREPARED WITH TRADITIONAL SANITARY METHOD. AND GIVING THE MOST FRAGRANT FLAVOR WHEN COOKED. AN EXCELLENT DRINK GUARANTEED.

Now I really think I could make a career for myself, correcting errors and absurd wording like this.
