Kasora is no longer in existence and the domain is for sale (hence, the link farm effect). For a brief time they were a small company offering some of the highest quality tea obtainable from an American company. The owners and employees were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in finding rare and wonderful tea. Oh how I miss them.

That’s a really interesting history of Monkey-picked tea haha I KNEW it had to be picked by humans! Adults especially, I can’t wait to get my hands on this tea!

It’s a good example of the way tea is so often marketed to Westerners as “Oriental” or “exotic,” which always really bothers me. And in my experience, Americans are particularly dense when it comes to differentiating metaphor from literal reality.

This is interesting. I never thought people would actually think the tea is monkey picked and sell it accordingly. Maybe because of my Chinese language background, I simply take the name as a metaphor for a rare, hard to harvest tea. Every Chinese tea with history has a legend behind it. There are just too many of them. Even reading Chinese, I only know a couple. These stories are interesting, and maybe provide some background of the tea. But seriously, I don’t agree with the sellers telling people these tea are “monkey picked”.

I am an actual person, which makes me a little more reputable than an aggregation bot! This was an enjoyable topic to research and write about. I see plenty of claims of monkey-picked tea.

thanks for your article. I was actually going to cite the Kasora.com’s World of Tea article you mention as a reference to this story being a colorful marketing myth. However a little research into Kasora reveals it to be a link farm that puts content online in the hope of catching clicks.

Hopefully you are a more reputable and personable source.

cheers!

It is a compelling story, if less than credible.

From what I have seen, few believe it is currently picked by monkeys – but most believe it was done so in the past.

Thank you. I really wonder how many people believe the hype.
