Monkey Picked Tea

To start off KTB’s blog, I’d like to entice the curious out there with a little monkey business. Enter the world where not only humans work, but the monkeys actually pick the tea. These aren’t any ordinary monkeys. No siree. These are specially trained Chinese monkeys, from China. The price is £10.95 for a 57 gram bag. What does that say to us Americans? Well, you’re either getting really cheap drugs or … it’s about $19.12 for approximately .13 pounds worth. Don’t ask me for a fraction. I’m simple minded. Where does one go to get this monkey picked tea you may ask. Well, it certainly is edible, isn’t it? Then get yer arse on over to Edible.com! “Well that’s crazy Kristoff!” It certainly is. You know what else is crazy though? They sell Weasel Coffee. The coffee beans are eaten by weasels and regurgitated, giving it a distinct taste. Or maybe you’re in the market for some pearl dust. You read it right. They actually sell ground up dust from pearls. It’s supposed to serve as an aphrodisiac, but y’all know Kristoff is already down with the ladies. There are many other things on the site that are certainly unique. Don’t let me ruin the fun though. Go check it out for yourself! If anyone has luck buying this stuff in The States, let me know.

EDIT:

As of October 13th 2006, the link doesn’t seem to work. In fact, the whole site has been under “reconstruction” for quite while. I hope they come back up.
