One Lump or Two?



Picture the wind blowing gently in the garden. A monk is meditating and smells the sweet garden blossoms. Everything is perfect, the only thing missing is a cup of tea. But oh no, the branches are too high and the mountain too steep. His monkey senses his thoughts. Knowing his master wants tea, he climbs high up into the trees and brings him back some wonderful tea leaves. The tea is so delicious, others train their monkeys to pick the delicate tea leaves.

I totally don't know if that story is true or not, but it sounds like that is the way it might have happened. These days the practice of monkeys picking tea has all but died out. EXCEPT, one small village still continues this tradition. You can order your own bag of rare tea It is full of antioxidants, will calm you and temper your spirit. Best of all, the tea claims it will put you in divine touch with your monkey ancestors. The 2 oz bag costs 19.99 which seems like an incredible deal for stupid humans. P.S. No monkeys were harmed in the picking of this tea.

While you are drinking your tea, you can wear the tea shirt that proves to the world that you are a chump, I mean chimp.
