AN eminent Tea Expert, writing in the " Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, says :—"Tea blending is a scientific art and the acme of the art is to ' lift' blends up, not to depress them to a dull average. The expert will blend low-priced, medium, and fine quality teas in such a way as to make a 'tine liquoria.r.' not a medium cup. The great nsori-i is to for your 'fetching a jot that can dominate ike b.end. r this, great experience an I ,a y trained palate are cssenti J. No har-i nd fast rules can b> laid down, but there is a great to bo g ined by the succeseful individual v.ln by Lis skill can make, for two or ihrcc pence a pound less money, ;i liwxtl t hat .siia.l o.'uial the more expofiiive oao cf tie inexpert blender " In Z> i.! u:d expert tea blenders are few im 5 i u- br.tvwm, and while there are many l»r:ui,!s of blended teas on the market, few are tho work of real experts. For tho most part the teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maximum profit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions impossible, and purity problematical. There is one firm in New Zealand who have f>r many years been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Blended by an export of great experience and unique skill, who also has the great advantage of his firm's superior buying and impoitin : capabilities, these teas are undoubtedly very fine examples of the blender's art, and at the various prices at which they are sold they are undeniably the best value obtainable in the Dominion. We refer to "Tiger'' Teas. That they have fer so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased competition is evidence of the public's critical abilities. The people of New Zealane are, on the whole, good judges of tea, and as " Tiger " Tea is still the pick of the great majority, nothing further need be added, except that tlioy are obtainable from all stores at Is 4d, Is 6d, Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. That at Is 81 per lb is the most favoured at present, it is a very fine tea, and those who canuot afford tho higher pr'ced "Tiger'' Teas find it quite as good as other brands of tea at 2s a lb. Those, however, who are compelled to buy a low-priced tea will get the best value for theii money, both in quality and flavour, if they buy the low-priced "l r iger'' blends.—(t).
