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 line quality teas in such a way as to make a 'fine liquoviaV not a medium cup. The great buoret is to select for your 'fetching up ' a tea that can dominate ihe bicud. b'ur this, great experience «, id a highly trained palate are essential. No h,u-d ad fast rules cm bw iuid down, but there is a great prme t-> lv by the. succeseful indiviuuil who by Lis skill can make, f.->r two <>r thixe peiice a pound loss money, a bioiid that shall e.mal the I more expensive one of the inexpert blender." In iVew Zetland expert tea blenders are few ;.ud iu' unt.voan, and while there are many brands of blended teas on the.j market, few are the work of real experts. ' For the most part the teas are mixed in a haphazard kind of way, the main object being the obtaining of a maximum pro--fit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions is impossible, and purity problematical. There is one firm in New Zealand who have for many years been selling the finest blended teas in Australasia. Blended by an expert of great experience and unique skill, who also has the great advantage of his firm's superior buying and imnoit' ig 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 com- J petition is evidence of the public's critical abilitios. 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 they are obtainable from all stores at Is 4d, Is 6d, Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. That at Is , 8d per lb is the most favoured at present, ft is a very fine tea, and those who cannot afford the higher priced "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 thfdr money, both in quality and flavour, if they buy the low-priced " |Tiger" : blends.—(L). i
