Now I enjoy a good cup of tea, after all I'm English. But there are just some things that defy reason but you can’t help but love.
A prime example of this is the Monkey Picked Tea.
Apparently, there is a legend that says that over ten centuries ago, upon seeing his master pick tea leaves, a monkey climbed up and collected the leaves and brought them down for his master.
Whether it be legend or simply a cheaper form of labour, the story has turned into a rare product that we can purchase and enjoy!
Monkey Picked Tea is a rare tea that is carefully picked by specially trained monkeys in a remote mountain region of China.
It is claimed that none of the monkeys are mistreated or harmed in this process. They say that the monkeys are treated as respected members of their family.
