A popular chain of Chinese tea shops has apologised for a range of cups and teabags sporting sexist slogans, after they sparked widespread outrage on the internet, the Shanghai Daily reported on Monday.

Modern China Tea Shop, based in southern Chinaโ€™s Hunan province, was selling tea bags captioned with โ€œthe mouth says no but the body says yes,โ€ and โ€œmy dear, I want you.โ€
One mug referred to women as a โ€œbig bargain,โ€ saying that customers could pick up an unexpected deal by meeting beautiful women while they wait for their tea.
Modern China apologised on Saturday, saying it took responsibility for offending women and would not mistake sexist jokes for creative ideas in the future, Shanghai Daily reported.
The offending items are no longer on sale, the newspaper added.
