Actually tie means tea. It’s the tea of Guan Yin the “Iron Goddess of Mercy”.Monkey picked tea is oolong tea that is rolled. If you look at premium oolong tea much of it appears to be rolled into little balls and is rather sloppily rolled, hence monkey picked. Now there is the legend of the farmer that kept the temple of Guan Yin very clean and he was very devout. As a reward to the farmer when he could not get his crop in, Guan Yin called upon the monkeys to help the farmer and save the crop. That is where the legend of monkey picked comes from.
