TIMES change, and with them man* ners and tastes. The unimpeach* able evidence of statistics of trade tell us that people readily appreciate a good and pure article in preference to a dear and inferior one. This has neyer been so clearly demonstrated as in the records of the Customhouse In 1885 Ceylon Tea made its first ap» pearance in New Zealand. That year the total quantity imported from all sources was 4,442,6671 b, of which China supplied 2,487,6611 b, or 60i per cent. India supplied 150,6141 b, or 3} per cent. Ceylon supplied 4931 b, or 001 per cent That insignificant little shipment to this colony was so appreciated that people asked for more— and got it. 5 years later (1890) the imports : stood thus : — China supplied 976,2401 b,* 0r 251 pw cent India supplied 657,9021 b, or 17 per cent Ceylon supplied 363,1371 b, or 9J p.c. The total imports for that sear from all sources were 3,843,1051 b. It was this year that Suratura Tea was introduced, and became a boon and a blessing to humanity. How it has established itself in the homes of the , people may be seen hy the manner in which it has distanced all rivals, and materially assisted to dr.'ve China teas out of consumption. In 1896 China supplied 58,941.1 b, or 1} percent. India supplied 9-J2,64d1b, or 20£ per cent. \ Cbtlon supplied 2,310,4151 b, or 55£ per cent. No other article of domestic consump* tion can show anything approaching this. Snratnra Tea is picked and packed in Ceylon, thereby preserving its freshness and aroma until it reaches the consumer — wh : ch accounts for its economy and j purity. Surafara Tea is NOT blended with India or China Teas.
