  • Description

    China - land of the tall tale. (Although in this case it?s more of a medium sized tale since pears trees generally don?t grow very high.) What are we getting at? Well, it seems that one day many, many years ago, a monk was walking through a market begging for food. He came upon a man with a wheelbarrow filled to the rail with fresh juicy pears. The monk stopped and asked the man if he might have one pear to curb his hunger pangs. The man, who was very haughty, foolishly told the holy man to move along, that he had worked hard for the pears and had no intention of giving one away to a lazy monk. The monk asked again explaining that he had eschewed the trappings of the material world and as such had no money, but could offer a blessing in return. The man stood his ground and still wouldn?t give him a pear.

    By this time a crowd had gathered. Everyone was astonished at the greediness of the pear seller. Finally, an old man bought a pear and handed it to the monk. The monk took the pear, began eating it and said, "Since you have been so kind." He paused to continue munching. "Since you have been so kind to me old man, I?m going to share all the pears I have here with everyone assembled." The crowd was dumbfounded. Hadn?t the monk just begged for only one pear? Once he had finished the fruit, the monk dug a small hole and placed a pear seed in it. He opened his water flask and gently poured some water over it. Within the next few minutes, a sprout appeared. Minutes later and a fully formed pear tree stood before the astonished gathering. The monk pulled the fruit off piece by piece, handing them out to every man, woman and child. Once they were all gone he picked up the tree, balanced it over his shoulder and walked off. The crowd dispersed. The pear merchant turned back to begin selling pears but to his astonishment not a single one remained in his wheelbarrow. Also missing was one of the wheelbarrow?s wooden arms.
    What do you think happened? Did the monk build a miraculous tree from the man?s pears and wheelbarrow arm? Did the crowd walk off with the fruit? Who knows? All that can be said is that pears are delicious and heir ability to add lift and punch to tea and herbal tea blends is magical! The mellow tart character of the fruit adds juicy notes and blends well with almost anything. It wouldn?t be a tall tale to say that including them in your lineup may increase sales!
