Monkey tea

Toronto's Kensington market is home of many cute, tiny tea shops. I found this wall display of teas in glass jars to be aesthetically pleasing. The one in the upper right-hand corner is called "100 Monkeys." The print on its label (too small for cell-phone picture resolution) reports that it is hand-harvested by specially trained monkeys from terrain inaccessible to humans. I had just read about monkey-harvested tea recently -- is this a new tea trend?
