As Monk Norbu was outdoors preparing tea one day, a strange fruit fell into his pot. The taste of his tea then became as sweet as a sunny day! “A blessing from above”, he had spoken.  And for all, sweet days followed, along with increased vitality and slimmer waistlines. Happy and thankful followers named the sweet fruit - Monk Fruit!

Monks discovered the sweet taste and health benefits of a small green melon 800 years ago at the base of the misty mountains of Guilin. Aside from sweetening their food and beverages, that small miracle fruit has also aided in the relief of coughs and lung congestion. After centuries of practicing this traditional method of cultivation, Monk Fruit is now being handed down to you!
