Have you ever drank a cup of good old tea and said to yourself “I wonder who picked this”. No? Well we have, and it turned out to be just a bunch of normal people… How boring. So we decided to get some tea with a difference. Not only is it more delicious than normal tea, it’s also picked by monkeys. And no not people who aren’t too smart, proper monkeys.

Apparently this was first invented by a bunch of monks playing around with their monkeys (Hey they have to do something to pass those long years in worship). They found if you showed a monkey how to pick tea you could teach it to pick tea in those places that people could not reach. At one point in time it was a very big thing with monks due to the altitude at which the tea leafs were picked at giving the tea made from the leaf an excellent taste.

But sadly nowadays the practice of monkeys picking tea has all but died out, except in one small remote village where they still continue this remarkable tradition. And no, before you ask, No monkeys are harmed in order for us to bring this rare brew to you!
