CaryTown Teas features leaves picked by monkeys
A tea enthusiast will tell you the best tea is picked by monkeys. Well, it’s hard to verify that it was actually picked by monkeys, but Ti Kuan Yen tea of the oolong family is good. It’ll run you $42 a bag at CaryTown Teas.
Style Weekly featured CaryTown Teas last week with a brief history of the most expensive variety. The reason it’s called “monkey picked” is because tea leaves are gathered from the highest spots on the tree, where only a monkey could climb.
And I thought they spread out a bunch of regular tea leaves, and used monkeys to randomly pick which ones went in the bag.
