This Is the first occasion that there has been a shortage of tea in England, and, judging from the chorus of complaints, people find it more difficult to do without tea than without sugar or butter (writes the London correspondent of the Age on October 20). There is said to be a large stock of coffee in the country, but English people have never taken to coffee as a beverage. It is true that in .most English households the art of making good coffee has never been mastered; but neither has the art of making good tea. When the fact that a shortage of tea was inevitable it was announced in the news, and everyone joined in the rush to the shops to get a small stock to last for a few weeks. Grocers were besieged by applicants for tea, and their stocks were soon cleared out. Others restricted their sales to Jib to each customer, and subsequently reduced th» amount to 2ozs.
