Rare Chinese Monkey Picked Tea

http://www.weirdasianews.com/2007/09/16/rare-chinese-monkey-picked-tea/

Legend 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 labor, the story
has turned into a rare product that you 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.
