Monkey Picked Tea
No it’s
not another wind up, this variety of tea is picked not by plantation workers, but by specially trained monkey’s.
Monkey picked tea leaves are famous in their native China, and get their name from the fact that trained monkeys have to pick them.Monkey picked tea comes from the leaves of wild tea plants that grow in inaccessible places, such as on high cliff faces, so to harvest them people train special monkeys.
The monkeys are very well cared for and their parents before them did the same job, so it has become ingrained into them and they wouldn’t be happy doing anything else. The tea is very highly fragrant and is lower in tannins and caffeine than other teas, and rich in antioxidants, the tea has a pale golden colour when brewed and is best served without milk, to taste its full delicate flavour.
