TEA BLENDING. N eminent Tea Expert, writing in the "Tea and Coffee Trade Journal, says : —"Tea blending is a scientific arc 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 in such a way as to make a 'fine liquonn/,' not a medium cup. The great is to aftlect for your 'fetching up ' a toi that can dominate th", b'end. i''or this, great experienw twl a hi:rli y trained palate are •'■ssenti il. No liurd nd fast rules cin lv Hnd down, hut there is a gra«t oy the sueceseful hy his pki! 1 can make, frr tmi nr rhrfv j>n:jce a pound less monpy. ;i, lilted tiie.t shall ecmal tin* more expensive one of the inexpert blend t In Now 7,<>>l<vd expert tea blenders are few and f :r between, and while there are many bmndp of blended teas on the 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 profit. Uniformity of quality or flavour under such conditions is impossible, and purity problematical. , There is one firm in Now Zealand who have fjr 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 imuoitniij capabilities, theso 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 for so many years retained their supremacy and great popularity in the face of increased compptifcioii is evidence of the public's critical abilities. The people of Now Zealarta ire, on the whole, good judges of te_i, 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 Gd, Is Bd, Is lOd, and 2s per lb. That at Is 8d per lb is the most favoured at present. It is a very fine tea, .and those who cannot afford the 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 their money, both in quality and flavour, if > hey buy the low-priced " !Tiger : ' blends.—(l).
