Everyone loves a good old cup of tea, but there are times when the boring standard brand tea simply won't do. After all, we doubt the Queen of England chucks a couple of bags of Lipton's in the pot when she's having visiting dignitaries come by for sandwiches. The only problem is, unless you've got a title in your name and your palate is as pretentious as your hyphen, fancy brews like Earl Grey and Darjeeling just don't hit the spot. What's more, posh tea is hardly likely to get your guests in a lather of excitement. That's why your good friends here at Firebox finally decided to seek out a decidedly different brew to enliven your lunches and transform your tea breaks. And by Jiminy, have we found one! 
Monkey Picked Tea is a wonderfully refreshing brew that has been hand - or rather paw - picked by monkeys! Do not adjust your computer - you read it right the first time. These well cared for monkeys are famous in their native China and are specially trained by their owners to pick rare, wild tea plants in inaccessible places, such as cliff faces. The monkey-picked leaves produce a pale, golden tea that's so fragrant and delicious it's best served without milk. Or sugar. Or cookies. Or cake. The point being, drinking Monkey Tea should be viewed as an important spiritual event, not to be sullied by crass diversions. 
Best of all, the monkeys enjoy their work. Picking tea is a family business for most of these resourceful little simians, as their parents before them were usually in the tea picking trade too. And let's face it, scurrying around in the great outdoors harvesting Asia's favourite drink is a far more dignified way to earn a living than prancing around on a barrel-organ in a grubby, ill-fitting clown's suit. Monkey Tea is guaranteed to get tongues wagging and mouths watering the minute you mention it, so put the kettle on and order some today.

"It's no longer enough just to have a nice cup of tea or coffee - for a really cool caffeine hit you have to drink coffee that has been seared by hurricane winds or regurgitated by Vietamese wesels. Now there's monkey picked tea - a delicacy in China." | |||||||||||||||||||
